A Child Should Not Lose an Education Because of Where Life Has Taken Them
For millions of children, education has been interrupted by circumstances they did not choose.
A child may be displaced from home. A refugee family may cross a border and discover that language, documentation, poverty, or an unfamiliar school system stands between their child and a classroom. In Afghanistan, over 2.13M primary-school-age children remain out of school, while approximately 2.2M adolescent girls are barred from secondary education. UNHCR estimates that 12.4M refugee children worldwide are of school age, and 46%—about 5.7M—are excluded from schooling.
United Glow begins with one child who still wants to learn, one family hoping for a different future, and one opportunity restored.
Sponsor NowBecause Losing School Can Mean Losing Much More Than a Classroom
When education is interrupted for months or years, a child falls behind in foundational skills. Returning becomes increasingly difficult. Some families cannot afford the technology or internet required for online learning; others face poverty, migration, or religious persecution.
Interrupted Schooling
Displacement, migration, or persecution can remove a child from school for months or years.
Poverty & Financial Barriers
Families struggling to meet basic daily needs cannot afford learning materials or devices.
Digital Exclusion
Online education cannot reach a child who lacks an appropriate device or reliable connection.
Language & Academic Gaps
Refugees enter new systems after missing crucial educational milestones and require intensive support.
Human Teacher Support
Videos alone are not education. Children need live teachers, feedback, and encouragement.
Safeguarding & Privacy
Children affected by persecution require strict child-safeguarding and responsible data protection.
