Help Palestinian children and young adults make it to class this year.

Soaring levels of poverty and ongoing violence in the occupied Palestinian territories prevent many young people from accessing their right to an education. Children and young adults with disabilities are the worst affected, with less than half of children with disabilities enrolled in regular education.

In Palestinian refugee camps across Lebanon and Jordan, poorly funded schools and a lack of opportunities outside the camps are taking their toll on the motivation of refugee children. Combined with their economic hardship, a normal educational experience is almost impossible.

Successive generations of Palestinian children have learned that their classrooms and homes are not safe places, and they have come to learn that their school uniforms will not shield them from bullets, bombs or harassment.

Without the financial means to overcome the lack of accessible infrastructure and the costs of education, thousands of Palestinian children and young adults will not make it to class this year.
