For millions of children, school isn’t just a place to learn. It’s where they laugh with friends, play games, and feel safe and supported. When children are out of school, they miss more than education, they miss friendship. At Street Child, we work to make school accessible for every child, everywhere, so that childhood can be filled with learning, laughter, and a sense of belonging. 🧡 #EducationMatters (fb)

Our Sierra Leone Country Director, Kelfa Kargbo, appeared on BBC News Africa to share the devastating local impact of sweeping UK aid cuts — particularly to global education. Aid cuts risk denying millions of children of their right to learn and thrive, especially girls, those in conflict zones, and children in extreme poverty. Education is not just a fundamental human right. It’s one of the most powerful, cost-effective investments the UK can make in a safer, more resilient world. Watch the segment below to hear more about the impact these cuts will have. (fb)
