The United Nations Millennium Development Goals and Education for All With world economies in turmoil, we must invest in the 67 million children who are out of school and in need of an education. World leaders at the United Nations have set the Millennium Development Goals to tackle issues of poverty and deprivation. The goals for education include a commitment that, by 2015, every child will be able to complete a full course of primary education. It goes under the slogan "Education for All." The Steve Sinnott Foundation is a UK based registered charity with a worldwide aim to promote Education for All, but we do not believe that education is ever a matter for charity. It is an entitlement for those who receive it and a crucial investment for those who resource it. With economies in the developed world having their own difficulties, we must invest in the education of the world's children to secure new growth.
 We rely on donations to finance and resource what we do, but we treat what we are given as an investment. Imagine how the world will be changed when 69 million children in this generation are making their contribution to their communities and societies as adults. Giving to the Foundation and its Millennium Development Goal projects is an investment in the future for all of us and all our children. So help us achieve that change.
There is also a resource even more valuable to us than money. It's the energy, expertise and commitment of teachers, educators and other supporters around the world. If you are not already a member, register with us by clicking on Register at the top of the page, and join in. ENGAGE
