Help the World Achieve Universal Education
Target: US Congress
Sponsored by: Care2
Sponsored by: Care2
Around the world, more than 43 million young girls don't have the opportunity to attend school. The lack of education is both a cause and a consequence of poverty - and cuts off the development of entire societies. When girls have access to basic education it has tremendous impacts in areas like public health and economic growth. Over the years, the benefits reach families, communities and countries as a whole. The United States can take an important step to get children in the world's poorest countries into school by passing the Education for All Act of 2007.
This bi-partisan legislation would:
- Focus U.S. foreign assistance on achieving universal primary education.
- Call for a comprehensive strategy outlining how the United States will play a leading role in reaching this important goal.
Send a message to your legislator today asking them to co-sponsor the Education for All Act of 2007!

A ignorant uneducated world produces poverty pollution terrorism child abuse illness etc. It cost lives and dollars. It is time we become proactive rather then reactive and maybe we will have a better world. It is not a complicated proposition.

Education is a kind of emancipation; it takes people where they want to go and they can rise from humble birth to several places higher up the class ladder.

this is a ridiculous petiton. the us isn't even taking care of its own children and 4% of the world's population isn't responsible for taking care of everyone else's: especially in overbreeding countries. If people have children, it is their responsibility to educate and care for them in their own countries. Give the us taxpayer a break.
