Access to Education

Each year, NetAid participates in the Global Campaign for Education's Action Week, when individuals worldwide unite to demand education for all. The Global Campaign for Education is an international coalition of organizations in more than 150 countries that promotes universal access to education.  This year, from April 23-29, Americans will join up to remind our leaders that Education is a Human Right.
