As COVID-19 continues to wreak havoc and disrupt lives around the world, the devastating secondary effects of the pandemic are widening the gaps of inequality. In addition to exacerbating deadly divides in income, healthcare, nutrition and other disease epidemics, there is an unprecedented crisis in education with 1.6 billion students out of school at the peak of the pandemic in April 2020, and still almost 800 million students today. Our #RaiseYourHand campaign highlights the urgent need to put education at the core of the pandemic recovery effort to keep children and youth around the world in school and learning.

We bring our efforts together so that this planet, by 2030, will see the elimination of the worst aspects of poverty.
