This September, as children in the UK return to school Street Child seeks to shine a light on the stories of children for who returning to school is not a given. Our campaign focuses on children's stories from Sierra Leone and Liberia where the compounding impacts of civil war, the Ebola crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in tens of thousands of children being out of education.

In Sierra Leone and Liberia, the compounding impacts of civil war, the Ebola crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in tens of thousands of children being out of education. Innocent children are paying the price for complex situations out of their control. This September, as children in the UK return to school, let us not forget those whose opportunity to learn is not a given.
