Endangering “Education for all” goals

Global economic crisis threatens to influence education budgets worldwide. That could cause a “lost generation” of children deprived of their expectations for an education that might lift them to a better future. That is what UNESCO warns in the 2010 Education for All Global Report published in January the 19th.

The Global Monitoring Report, developed annually by an independent team, assesses progress towards the goals to which over 160 countries committed themselves in 2000, as to achieve the universal primary education by 2015.

Former timetable looks now out of date, and the Report warns about decreasing in chance to reach targets. A significant increase over previous assessments would be required. It is estimated that donor countries should bridge a US 16 billion dollars financing gap to reach the Education for All targets.

There has been a collective failure by the donor community to act on the pledge made in 2000 that ‘no countries seriously committed to education for all will be thwarted in their achievement of this goal by lack of resources’.

Not everything is negative. The 2010 Report, Reaching the marginalized, charts some striking advances in education over the past years from 1999. From there on, the amount of children out of the school system decrease in by 33 millions while the number of those completing primary studies grows up. Gender disparities remain, however, it seems to decrease.

One more kid in the Family

There is a new member in Yolanda’s Family. His name is Palice and he is 6 years old. He arrived undernourished at all. At the hospital they doubted about his recovery. Fortunately, he is much better now and his life is not in danger.

In Paris name, we thank all our friends and members’ collaboration. Without your help, he had probably been one more kid dying from famine every ten seconds.

Yolanda’s Family helps women from Rugazi’s refugee camp

The Association increases its actions over one of Burundi’s most vulnerable minorities: women. Fifty women, and their families, from Rugazi’s refugee camp will have medical care as a result of Yolanda’s Family agreement with Bubanza’s Health Centres and Bujumbura’s Central Hospital. Most of the women suffered from mistreatment and rape since abusers have no punishment at all. Frequently, they get illness like AIDS.

This signed agreement will allow these women and their families to have health care that they could not afford it before.
