Children Out of School
Many children across Africa are not enrolled in school, despite being of age. Barriers such as financial pressures, the need to support their families, and distance from educational facilities often prevent them from starting school on time or cause them to drop out early, stifling their future potential.
Across underserved communities, many women give birth without access to skilled healthcare providers or essential medical support. This critical gap, caused by distance, cost, limited transportation means, poor medical facilities, and cultural barriers, results in higher rates of maternal and infant mortality that could otherwise be prevented.
Widespread gender-based violence (GBV) and violence against children erodes safety, well-being, and opportunity across the continent. These systemic issues demand dedicated support services, protective shelters, and community action to ensure fundamental safety and justice for all vulnerable persons.
Why This Matters
Improving both education and maternal healthcare is essential for creating stronger, more resilient communities. When women and children are supported with quality services, the benefits ripple across entire families, economies, and generations.
