Infographic: The Global Education Crisis

For millions of children in low-income countries, each missed school year is another lost opportunity to build a better life. buildOn is combating this crisis by breaking ground on a new school every 2 days in eight countries. More than 400,000 children, parents and grandparents attend 3,000+ buildOn-constructed schools every day, with equal enrollment of female and male students. Here’s why creating these educational opportunities matters:

buildOn is raising awareness of the global education crisis and sharing stories about the communities where we work. We need your help to spread our message and end this crisis:

• Share this infographic with your friends, family, and colleagues.
