You know things are serious when Rihanna gets involved. Last year, she tweeted French President Emmanuel Macron asking him to fund education — leading to this epic moment. Now, the GPE Global Ambassador for Education is at it again.
Rihanna just tweeted at Macron, along with the leaders of the UK and Australia, calling on them to make a historic commitment to help 870 million children in 89 countries go to school.
Tomorrow, heads of state and government will meet in Senegal to renew their commitments to the Global Partnership for Education (GPE), which works to ensure that all children have a right to learn, and strengthens the systems and infrastructure to help them flourish.
Join Rihanna in this critical moment: send a tweet calling for France, Australia, and the UK to make a commitment to fund education.
Education is a universal human right for every child — but around the world, 870 million children are being denied their right to learn. This is not only completely unjust — it also has drastic consequences on their health, wealth, and happiness.
Your voice can help GPE raise the $3.1 billion USD it needs between 2018 and 2020. The sooner leaders like France, Australia, and the UK make this commitment, the more likely it is that other countries will follow suit.
Rihanna knows the importance of an education for every child. Make sure our leaders know this, too — tweet now calling on President Emmanuel Macron, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, and Prime Minister Theresa May to lead the way in funding global education.
Keep up the good work (work, work, work, work, work...)
