📚✨ International Day of the Girl ✨📚

Today, on , we're celebrating the transformative power of education and sharing an inspiring story from United World Schools (UWS) about the difference that learning can make in girls' lives.

Around the world, millions of girls still face barriers that prevent them from accessing a quality education. Yet when girls are able to learn, the benefits extend far beyond the classroom. Educated girls are more likely to stay healthy, earn higher incomes, support their families, and contribute to stronger, more resilient communities.

This story highlights why investing in girls' education is one of the most powerful ways to create lasting change for everyone. Learn how organizations like United World Schools are helping ensure that every girl has the opportunity to learn, lead, and thrive.

Recent flooding in Nepal has destroyed homes, schools, and entire villages, leaving many families with only what they could carry to safety.

At least 22 schools have been damaged, including 12 that were completely destroyed. Yet even in the face of immense challenges, Nepal's communities continue to demonstrate extraordinary strength and determination.

Experienced in delivering education programming in Nepal, GCE-US member Educate the Children International shares how education plays a critical role not only in a child's future, but also in a community's ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters.

Read their inspiring reflection on why investing in education today helps build safer, stronger communities for tomorrow.

On World Humanitarian Day, we honor the educators, humanitarian workers, and local partners who continue to bring learning, hope, and stability to children living through conflict and crisis.

Education is not a secondary response to emergencies. It is a lifeline that helps protect children, supports their well-being, and creates opportunities for a better future.

Today, 93 million crisis-affected children are out of school. At a time when global needs continue to grow, sustained investment in education is more important than ever.

As the Senate prepares to release its FY27 State and Foreign Operations Appropriations bill, GCE-US is calling for continued U.S. leadership on global education. We support $970 million for international basic education, including $30.4 million for Education Cannot Wait, the global fund for education in emergencies.

Every child deserves the chance to learn, no matter where they live or the challenges they face. Read our World Humanitarian Day statement and join us in advocating for education for all.
