Access to education is a basic human right. Unfortunately, for millions of
children around the world, this isn’t the case. Over 50% of children in low and
middle income countries leave primary school unable to read, and in some
countries, it’s significantly higher. For refugee children specifically, only half of
them attend any primary school at all, and less than a quarter attended
secondary school.

While there are a multitude of contributing reasons, poverty remains the
biggest barrier. Political instability, conflict, violence, and even areas
susceptible to natural disasters all have a major impact on a child’s access to
education.

And without quality education, children are less likely to have the
resources to build sustainable livelihoods, further trapping them in the cycle of poverty. Noor ul Huda is truly dedicated to our education programs. Around the world, we’re helping vulnerable children build better lives for themselves for generations to come.
