Without a doubt, inequalities in access to education continue to disadvantage children across the globe. Without education, it is impossible to build the knowledge necessary to eradicate poverty and hunger, combat disease and ensure environmental sustainability.
Children most likely to drop out of school or to not attend school at all are often girls, those from poor households and those living in rural areas. Caste-based oppression can be another reason for denial of access to education.
WRA facilitates access to education through many of its partner org's, including our in-country partners in India who focus on developing education centres for the 'untouchable' Dalit underclass.
