Got some loose change?
This campaign was created because we believe that all boys and girls should have a chance to get an education. Free The Children's year-long initiative is to build 200 schools and improve access to education in developing countries around the globe. Because we believe that when you remove the barriers to education, children are empowered to create better communities.

- Future earnings boost up to 10%
