An Earthquake in Education Funding

A new Education Crisis Platform will be launched at the World Humanitarian Summit in May. Once it is established, support will be made available to humanitarian workers and educators to help children affected by natural disaster, epidemic, or war to continue their studies.

NEW YORK – In mid-April, a 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck Ecuador, killing at least 500 people and injuring another 4,000. The immediate priority is relief and rescue – searching for survivors (100 people are still missing), reuniting loved ones, and providing care, water, shelter, and food. But once this is accomplished, the work will have to continue.
