We know how important an education is to a child, and yet the education of 3
.5 million of our Syrian sisters and brothers is in jeopardy as the conflict
in Syria continues. Millions have had their education interrupted for
months or even years and many are still deprived of the chance to go to
school altogether.
My brave friend and 17-year-old Syrian refugee, Muzoon, went from tent to
tent in her Jordanian refugee camp encouraging girls to go to school. While
there, I saw firsthand how difficult it is to study or even attend school
when there are few supplies, teachers, and little electricity.
This is why we are traveling together to the upcoming Syria Conference,
where world leaders will come together to agree just how much funding the
world will dedicate to education for Syrian children impacted by the
conflict. The conference will take place on February 4th, so the time to act
is now.
Join Muzoon and me in asking President Barack Obama and other world leaders
to ensure that at least $1.4 billion dollars are dedicated to education for
Syrian children.
$1.4 billion dollars may sound like a lot. But we did the math – it’s
actually less than the cost of one World Cup stadium. In fact, it will only
cost $1 per day, per child, to give every Syrian child impacted by the
conflict a quality education and help ensure peace and a hopeful future. So
this isn’t a question of money, it’s a question of will.
As Muzoon says, “If this commitment is not made and more money is not
provided this year, we will only be able to educate one in five Syrian
children whose education has been affected by the conflict. This is not good
enough. Every child has a right to education, in war and in peace.
People fear that we will become a “lost generation” but today we are #
notlost. We are the greatest hope for Syria's future and we must make sure
the world invests in that hope through education.”
We must let the international community know that the United States supports
education for all Syrian children.
Stand with Muzoon and me in asking President Barack Obama and other world
leaders to ensure that at least $1.4 billion dollars per year are dedicated
to education for Syrian children.
Thank you
