Education is the great equalizer. For every year a child stays in school, his or her future earning potential increases 15 to 25 percent. Today, 72 million primary school-aged children are not in school, and two-thirds of those uneducated children are girls. Access to safe schools, trained teachers, textbooks, supplies and tuition fees can help to break the brutal cycle of poverty. Without intervention, however, millions of students will not make it past the fifth grade or have the opportunity to attend school at all.

No single charity is large enough to combat these challenges alone.
