Access to education is not a privilege—it’s a right. Yet today, millions of children across the world are still denied this right due to poverty, displacement, conflict, and crisis. At YOTF, we believe education is not just a long-term investment—it’s an immediate need, and a path forward.
From refugee camps to under-resourced communities, the classroom remains one of the most powerful places to protect, empower, and uplift children. But when families struggle to meet basic needs like food, shelter, and clean water, education often slips out of reach.
Why education matters
Without access to learning, children are more vulnerable to exploitation, child labor, early marriage, and a future without stability. But with education? A child is more likely to grow up healthy, build independence, and become a force of change within their community.
Our mission in education
YOTF is committed to ensuring every child has the chance to learn—no matter where they come from or what they’ve lived through. As we expand our work in regions like Gaza and Ukraine, and look ahead to new partnerships in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, education is at the core of our efforts.
We are currently working to:
- Launch fundraising initiatives to support school supplies, safe learning spaces, and digital access.
- Partner with grassroots organizations and local educators to rebuild educational opportunities in crisis-affected regions.
- Advocate for education as a basic human right, ensuring it stays on the global agenda.
Education and the future
By supporting education, we are investing in long-term solutions. A child who learns today can lead tomorrow. They can rebuild their community, care for their family, and raise their voice when it matters most.
The classroom is where hope begins—and with your support, we can help that hope grow.
