Educating Underprivileged Children
Education is vital for the personal success and growth of everyone, but unfortunately 250 million children worldwide still lack basic literacy skills, and more than 60% of those are girls. One of the sustainable development goals of the UN is to ensure that, by 2030, all girls and boys complete free, equitable, and quality primary and secondary education. In honor of this ambitious and admirable goal, Embrace Relief has set out to educating underprivileged children worldwide in several prominent ways.
