To Minister Kaag and other members of the Dutch Cabinet:

You have an unique opportunity to make this generation the first in which all children all over the world have access to education. This will give millions of children the opportunity to lift themselves out of poverty, and also will help secure international safety and economic growth in our home countries. We call on you to support the International Finance Facility for Education -- and give all children the chance they deserve.

Amina’s childhood was torn apart by poverty and the war in Syria -- and she’s one of some 260 million children who miss out school around the world.

Now the UN has launched a plan to put every child in school -- but they need the Netherlands to make it happen!

EU Governments are being asked to fund the plan, and many will take their lead from the Netherlands. Minister Kaag is deciding on this right now, but she won’t chip in unless she knows the Dutch people back her. So let’s show her…

Add your name -- UN education envoy Gordon Brown will deliver our voices directly to the Minister.
