Journeys to school

This powerful photo book highlights the close link between access to education and safe, reliable transport. Through striking images, Journeys to School complements statistics and reports by showing the daily reality faced by children around the world. 
Crossing deserts, tundra, rivers, and unsafe neighborhoods—on foot, horseback, sled, bus, or boat—these determined students undertake extraordinary journeys simply to reach the classroom. Their routes symbolize both resilience and hope for a better future. Despite global progress in school access, many poor and marginalized children remain excluded due to poverty, gender inequality, geography, ethnicity, and weak transport networks. These photographs are a compelling reminder of our shared responsibility to ensure that every child, everywhere, can safely access education.
