It is estimated that there are 700 million children of primary school age and more than 121 million do not attend school, mostly in South Asia and sub- Saharan Africa where poverty prevents them.
• 50 million babies have started life without a legal identity. With no documentation to prove how old they are or even if they exist, they are likely to be faced with discrimination and lack of basic access to services such as education or health care
‘All your sons will be taught by the Lord, and great will be your
children’s peace.’ Isaiah 54:13
Pray for -
• Children who do not have an opportunity to go to school because of physical or
mental disability
• Children who live in very poor families who cannot afford school uniforms, shoes or books, which means they are excluded
• Children who work during the day and cannot attend school because they must earn money to feed themselves and their families
• The many ministries which are seeking to develop and educate children-particularly
those doing so in line with Godly values and wisdom
• The daily provision of resources both financial and human to give children the
opportunity to learn
• That governments would keep their commitments to provide universal education for all primary age children
