The right to education is at the heart of the Marist mission, especially for disadvantaged children.
At Three2Six, we have proudly lived out this mission every day for the past 18 years thanks to the support of funders such as Terre des Hommes . Inspired by Marist values, we believe every child deserves access to quality education that supports their development, unlocks their potential, and enables them to become active members of society.
In South Africa, the right to education is protected by the Constitution and supported by education laws, including the South African Schools Act and the BELA Act.
The barriers preventing migrant children from accessing education are neither inevitable nor acceptable. Governments, institutions, and school communities all have a role to play in removing them. We call for urgent, coordinated action to ensure that every child in South Africa can access their right to education—without discrimination or delay.
If you believe in the Marist commitment to education, dignity, and solidarity with vulnerable children, support our work by donating, partnering with us, or sharing this message.
