USA: Ask President Obama to Ensure Refugee Children Attend School - ONLINE PETITION

Save the Children Action Network

     Later this month, President Obama is hosting a summit with our world leaders about refugees. This summit is a critical opportunity to raise the dire need to keep refugee children safe and in school. 
Every child deserves an education. Yet millions of refugees are being denied the opportunity to learn because they have been forced from their homes. Refugees often spend 17 or more years displaced from their homes, and they are five times less likely than other children in their host countries to attend school.
     If we don't act fast, millions of refugee children will miss out on their educations.
It’s urgent that we send thousands of messages to President Obama to show him that the American public cares about the plight of refugee children. Please send a message to President Obama today to ensure no refugee child is out of school for more than a month.
