Protect Vulnerable Children
Coronavirus knows no borders.
It is a global threat and demands a global response. The virus is already having devastating consequences for children, including an entire generation missing out on school.
There is a real danger that progress made on improving children’s lives will see a reversal, especially for girls and children affected by conflict.
We must help protect and continue to educate these children.
What We're Doing
Through a combination of government relations, communications and grassroots activism, we build relationships policymakers and mobilize the public to ensure children can learn and be safe.
We empower our grassroots network of hundreds of thousands of supporters to raise their voices and lobby their lawmakers to invest in kids. By joining together, we become a force that turns advocacy into policy wins.
