The education of children has the unique ability to promote peace in Conflict-Affected Fragile States (CAFS.) Education can give hope to 39 million children worldwide who are currently out of school due to war conflicts.
Schools in CAFS become a refuge for communities. Schools in CAFS go beyond reading and writing, they teach children life skills to help them survive in war ravaged nations, skills such as landmine and HIV/AIDS awareness. Schools also offer psychological healing.
Children and parents in conflict-affected countries know how important education can be, and are willing participants. With the help of organizations that work to give the opportunity of education, all children can learn a better life without conflict.
