For adults:

Around 24% of children of primary school age in sub-Saharan Africa and 7% in Southern Asia do
not attend school.

Give 30p if there is a non-fee-paying primary school where you live

For children:

School might sometimes feel like a bit of a pain. But school is really important for us to learn the things we need for life. It’s great that in Britain and Ireland everybody can go to school without having to pay for it. In sub-Saharan Africa, almost one in four children do not go to school. Imagine what it would be like to have to go to work instead of school, or to stay at home to look after everyone in your family. Write down one new thing that you have learned at school today and say a prayer of thanks for your teacher.

Day 1 - 30p
