Dear WPDI Family,
Today marks the 5th International Day to Protect Education from Attack, and WPDI is standing united with voices from across three continents to raise awareness about this crucial issue.
Education is not just a fundamental right—it’s a powerful tool to combat poverty, achieve sustainable development, and build lasting peace. Yet, with a 20% rise in attacks on educational institutions and a violation occurring every 3 hours, the stakes have never been higher. The human cost of these attacks is immense, and it’s our collective responsibility to act now.
In partnership with Education Above All (EAA), we are at a pivotal moment, and the choice is ours to make. By joining together today, we can safeguard education for future generations and turn the impossible into reality. This is not just a hashtag; it’s a global rallying cry. We invite you to watch and share our video, which highlights the voices of WPDI staff worldwide, united across three continents standing up for education.
