There are 72 million children out of school across the world. That’s more than all the children that are primary school across Europe, USA, Canada, Australia combined. The world has the opportunity to ensure that every child has an education, and the chance to beat poverty.

In 2010 the FIFA World Cup in South Africa is a landmark moment: it’s the first ever World Cup to be held on the African continent. As the world’s eyes turn to Africa this June, we will be asking all world leaders to achieve our 1GOAL: Education for All.

World leaders have the power, the resources, and the knowledge to achieve education for all. Watch the ‘Education for All’ film made by Richard Curtis (below) that explains more. 1GOAL will be asking all leaders to make Education for All a reality. In order for us to achieve our 1GOAL we need your help and your support. Join1GOAL and help achieve Education to End Poverty.
