Children in Crisis is one of hundreds of Charities supporting Children in need globally.

 

This information increases the awareness and helps us to see the perspectives of children in another countries. The children of the UK are equally subjected to various forms of deliberate and systematic deprivation. The recent Scientific studies show that the children living under poverty line in the UK are in several millions . so is School drop out as it is also rampant. These tragic incidents against the rights of Children are mostly linked in one way or another with family breakdown and inability of children to have their both parents as they are naturally ought to. Those who are in position attempt to solve the problems all over the world with cosmetic treatments of the symptoms of poverty instead of eradicating the underlying causes of Child poverty in the developed parts of the world.

Children in Crisis was established in 1993 in the UK to give children in some of the world’s poorest countries the education they need to help transform their lives.

 

Our vision: All children receive the learning needed for their flourishing and wellbeing

 

Our mission: Where resources are few, where education is needed to heal the nation, and where it is too remote for others, our aim is to support children to read, write, think, pursue their life goals and contribute positively to their communities.

 

“We shape approaches which are not too costly but are effective and potentially scalable, not only by us, but by poorly resourced local NGOs and local authorities. We know that the environments we work in are unstable and uncertain, so we ensure that our solutions are resilient, and can be adapted by local communities if things go wrong”. Koy Thomson, Chief Executive of Children in Crisis.

 

Education for children is of paramount importance in today’s world and it is one of the reasons why Children in Crisis exists.

 

Children are at the centre of everything we do. We believe in a moral duty to protect and nurture the most vulnerable and dependent children in our society. Through education, they have a fairer chance in life, and above all, it allows them to flourish as a human being and to contribute positively to their families, and society.

 

As a recent UNESCO report stated “the number of children out of school is falling too slowly.” According to current global trends, 56 million children will still be out of school in 2015, a huge discrepancy from the Millennium Development Goal that intended to have every child complete a year of primary school by 2015. Education is moving up the political agenda outside and within the UK, but not fast enough. Education budgets took the severe brunt of the financial crisis with many of them being cut by countries that already had millions of children out of school.

 

Education has been called an inoculation against poverty and resurgent conflict. In many post-conflict situations, thousands who have missed out on schooling, are marginalised and too easily whipped up by dangerous leaders into new rounds of conflict. It is in these tough environments that children face major barriers to education and it is one of the reasons why we focus on politically unstable and conflict-affected countries. 

 

In sub-Saharan Africa, 10 million children drop out of school every year. Of the 72 million primary aged children still not enrolled in school worldwide, 40 million are found in fragile and conflict affected states.

 
The economic and strategic arguments for educating children are just as compelling. Investing in a child’s early development and learning yields the highest individual and collective benefits as compared to investing in later life.

A population’s education and health status play a significant role in a country’s economic development. Education empowers the people to help themselves and thus helps to improve governance. In addition education can hugely increase the innovative capacity of an economy, even at local level.

Each extra year of education raises lifetime earnings by about 10% (DFID, 2010). With an educated population, a country will also gain an extra 1% GDP for every year of schooling provided (DFID 2010).

 

However a year of schooling does not produce the same cognitive skills everywhere and this is why our main focus is on quality education. We don’t just build schools, we also train teachers to high standards and introduce modern teaching methods.

We also invest in women’s literacy classes and vocational training. We recognise that better education also results in better health for mothers and children because of better access to crucial information and health care.

Children of mothers who are educated are 40% more likely to live beyond age 5.  It is broadly recognised that a clear boost to economic development can only be achieved through investment in secondary education. However, facilitating access to secondary education can only be achieved through universal primary education and through women's education so that they encourage their children, girls in particular, to go to school...

Based on current global trends, 105 million 15-24 year olds will lack basic literacy skills in 2015, 55% of whom will be women. This has a major intergenerational effect, given that mothers who cannot read are far less likely to be supportive of education for their children. This is why the work of children in crisis is so valuable.
