 The right to education is a human right, recognised by the United Nations. Education and alphabetisation are also the way forward to sustainably improve human development. Therefore we strongly support the decision of the 2000 UN Millennium Summit to include universal primary education in the eight Millennium Development Goals that should be achieved by 2015 to make poverty history.
In addition we work for universal secondary education for girls and boys. Only in this way can people in the developing world really tackle the fundamental problems they have to cope with, such as poverty, hunger, gender discrimination, health issues, unemployment and the lack of opportunities in society.
To help realising universal education, we are engaged in all levels of schooling. We manage kindergartens, primary schools, homes for street kids, secondary schools and institutes for vocational training in the D.R. Congo, India, Tanzania and Venezuela.
