About

Founded in 2005, Send My Friend to School is a non-profit network based in London, United Kingdom working on education, international development, children & youth.

Send My Friend to School is a UK civil society coalition of international development NGOs, teachers' unions and charities campaigning for quality education for all children worldwide. Running since 2005 and part of the Global Campaign for Education, it engages young people, schools, teachers, politicians and the media. Its campaigns call on the UK Government to protect and increase global education funding, support teachers, and keep children learning in emergencies. The coalition is hosted by the charity Results UK, and it primarily asks schools and young people to raise their voices rather than raise money.
