Why This Is Important:
I call upon the South African government to provide good quality education for all children. Not just access to education. To ensure that all schools have running water, basic supplies, libraries, transportation, and lunch programs. In order for the most vulnerable children, in South Africa, girls, to have better lives, have better health and have a chance to escape poverty, they must have a high quality education.

Libraries and basic supplies should be minimum requirements for every school in the country. no excuses.
quality education is a right not a privilege. tired of empty promises from the govt.
My heart breaks for the children who have to walk miles just to get to a school with no books. Fix this now.
Lunch programs are essential. How are these kids supposed to learn when they are hungry? Sort it out.
Every kid deserves a school with proper water and desks. It should not be this hard to study in 2018.
