Education for all the World’s Children
Hi there!
T
his magazine is especially for children and about children and we hope you enjoy it! We have put together stories, interesting information, pictures, games and activities about the lives of children in other countries. You will also find useful information and ideas in the following pages to help with your Our World Irish Aid Awards project. The theme for this year’s Awards is:
‘ Education for All the World’s Children’
More than half of the world’s children are born into poverty, and millions of children worldwide do not get the chance to go to school. Around the world, countries are working together to fight poverty through the 8 Millennium Development Goals. In this magazine, we explain what these Goals are, and how achieving them will make a better future for all children in the world. We look at why going to school is an important way for children to lift themselves out of poverty and hunger. You will also learn how Ireland is helping children and their families around the world through the work of Irish Aid. We hope you will have fun with the articles, stories, pictures
and puzzles in this magazine and that they will give you great ideas for your projects for this year’s Our World Irish Aid Awards.

Irish AidOCEAN is the Irish Government’s programme for overseas development. Irish Aid helps development organisations such as Trócaire, GOAL, Christian Aid, UNICEF and many others to fight hunger and poverty in over 80 countries all over the world. It also has 9 PARTNER COUNTRIES where it works closely with the Governments so that those countries can develop, build better schools and hospitals, and grow more food. Irish Aid also gives aid when countries are hit by disasters such as famine or floods.

n our world of 7 billion people, 1.4 billion people are living in poverty, surviving on less than one euro every day. The poorest people in the world live in sub-Saharan Africa and in some parts of Asia. You or your family probably give money to development organisations that help people in poor countries. But, did you know that the Government also gives aid on behalf of all of the people of Ireland, through a programme called Irish Aid? Irish Aid helps many of the poorest countries in the world to fight poverty. These countries are sometimes called developing countries. Irish Aid works with governments and communities in developing countries to build schools and hospitals and have better
agriculture, so that poor people in these countries can improve their lives. This sort of help is known as development aid. We can all be proud because our overseas development aid programme is rated as one of the best in the world. Ireland is known as a world leader in the fight against hunger and poverty.
and communities in these countries to fight poverty and improve the lives of the people there. Take a look at the map. Can you see Ireland’s partner countries?

What are the Millennium Development Goals?
I
N THE YEAR 2000, the leaders of 189 countries, including Ireland, came together in the United Nations to look at the most serious problems facing the world. They wanted to find ways to make the world a better place for all of us. These world leaders of both rich and poor countries agreed to work together to get rid of world poverty. They decided to try to cut the number of people living in poverty in half by the year 2015. This is a big job so they came up with smaller steps to help them to achieve this.
Let’s look more closely at Millen nium Development G oal 2 (MDG 2):
They promised to work together to try to achieve the 8 development goals to fight poverty and to improve our world for people everywhere. These are called the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) because they were agreed in the Millennium year 2000. If all countries continue to work together to keep these promises, then the world will be a better place for children and their families everywhere. More boys and girls will go to school, fewer people will die from illnesses and fewer people will live in extreme poverty.
• What is MDG 2 about? • Why do you th ink that a pencil is used as the logo for this Goal? • Can you think of three things that might help to ac hieve this Goal? • To help you, yo ur teacher has a big poster of th e 8 Millennium Development G oals, or you can look at the vers ions of the MDG s on this page.

LET’S MEET : Ailesi (soun ds like “EYE- LISS”) Daka from Zamb ia in south ern Afric a. Ailesi Daka is a young girl who lives in Lusaka, the capital city of Zam
bia.
Home Time:
M
y Auntie doesn’t have any children of her own, so she looks after me. She’s a really nice person and I call her “Mum”. We sleep in the same bedroom, and every morning I wake up early to help her with the chores. We clean the yard outside the house, wash the plates, and sweep the house clean. We don’t have a tap for clean
This is me with Auntie Agnes.
Muli Bwanji? My name is Ailesi and I am 10.
I
come from Zambia in southern Africa, and live with my Auntie Agnes in Lusaka.
‘Muli Bwanji?’ means ‘How are you?’ in Nyanja, the language used by most Zambian people who live in Lusaka. I have four brothers and one sister. My brothers are called Masauso (21), Patrick (18), Songe (16) and Esau (12). My sister Mwati who’s only two, is the youngest in the family. They all live with my mother and father in our village in the Eastern Province. I moved to Lusaka to stay with my Aunt when I was four. Lusaka is the Capital City of Zambia, and lots of people move from the countryside to live here. It’s a very exciting city!
This is me, getting water from the borehole before school.

water in our house, so in the morning I go to the borehole (water well) nearby and get water for Auntie Agnes. The borehole isn’t far from our house, so it only takes a few minutes to get enough water for the day. Then I can go off to school! We usually drink tea and eat buns for breakfast, then for lunch and dinner we eat nshima (maize meal) with vegetables, like pumpkin leaves or spinach. Sometimes we have meats like chicken or beef with nshima. The vegetables are nice, but I prefer when we can have meat! I help Auntie to prepare the meals. We are lucky to have electricity in our house, but in the evening it goes off sometimes. When this happens, we use a small stove that burns coal, to cook and for heat. We also use candles to see what we are doing in the dark! Auntie has a small shop beside our house, and she sells sweets, biscuits, fruits and other groceries to people from the neighbourhood. Sometimes I help her in the shop over the weekend, making sure that there are enough things to sell on all the shelves. Selling things in the shop means that Auntie can buy enough nshima for us to eat, and enough coal for the stove so I try to help her when I can.

Education for all the World’s Children (Ailesi’s Story contd)
School Time:
I
go to FAWEZA Transit School. My teacher is called Ms. Manda, and I enjoy learning English, Mathematics and Sciences the most. On Mondays, we have school assembly. All the pupils meet in This is my teacher, Ms. Manda. the School Hall. Ms. Manda and the other teachers usually tell us how to be good students at school, and good children at home. They also tell us what we will be doing during the week and about games, visitors and school holidays. School lasts for four hours every day, but I usually arrive two hours before classes start to help tidy our classroom and get ready. After classes are finished, we sweep the yard and water all the flowers. Then I go home to help Auntie Agnes. My closest friend at school is Marble Mulenga. She’s a really good friend. Marble usually helps me with Maths, and
then I help her with Science. She wants to be a teacher when she grows up, just like Ms. Manda. When I grow up, I want to be a nurse in the Clinic near my house. I see people coming to the Clinic every day with different kinds of illnesses and sometimes I feel sad that I can’t help them. But I know that when I have studied hard and become a nurse, I will be able to help them. I work hard at school because I want to have a house, a car and a family of my own. I don’t want Auntie to have any problems when she grows older. I want to be able to take care of her, and my family back in our village in Eastern Province.

before it hits the ground, then you’ve lost the game. It sounds easy, but it’s really hard to catch the stone in time! This year, I also started to watch football on TV. I love watching Manchester United. I don’t know the names of all the different players on the team, but they are very well known where I live, and lots of people wear their red jersey. The best football match that I’ve ever seen was when Zambia won the Africa Cup of Nations. I was very excited, and my friends and I didn’t sleep at all that night! We watched the final at our local TV station, and when Zambia won we all danced and celebrated together! Next morning we all went to the road that runs to the airport to welcome the Chipolopolo team back to Zambia. The team drove past us waving huge Zambian flags. I’ll never forget that day because I was so happy!
uring my free time, I like to play different games with Marble and my other friends. My favourite game is called Chiyatho. It’s very common in Zambia and all my friends play it. First, you draw a circle in the This is me playing Ch sand and fill the circle with at home. It’s my fav iyatho game. Learn how toourite play stones. Then you have to on page 8! throw another stone high into the air and, before it begins to fall, you must push all the other stones outside the circle. If you don’t catch the stone
Zambian Fact File You already know that Ailesi is from Zambia, which is in southern Africa, but, did you know that it is a landlocked country, bordered by eight different countries: Angola, Botswana, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Tanzania and Zimbabwe? You already know that Ailesi speaks Nyanja, which is the language used by most Zambians living in Lusaka, but did you know that there are actually 8 different main languages in Zambia? You already know that Ailesi eats nshima for lunch and dinner every day, but did you know that nshima is the main food of most Zambian people? It is made from maize (like sweetcorn) the main crop grown by Zambian farmers. Nshima is prepared by girls or women. They
dry out the corn kernels, grind them down to a coarse powder called ‘meal’, and then cook the powder with water until it thickens like porridge. When it is ready, the nshima is eaten with vegetable or meat sauces. You already know that Ailesi watched the Zambian football team win the Africa Cup of Nations and that the nickname of the team is Chipolopolo, but did you know that this means The Copper Bullets? The team is called The Copper Bullets because there is lots of copper in the Copperbelt Province in the North of the country. The copper is mined and sold all over the world. This earns Zambia much of the money that it needs for building schools, clinics and roads. With copper playing such an important role for people in Zambia, it is no surprise that the Zambian Football Team earned the nickname, the Copper Bullets!

ambian children spend 7 years in primary school (grades 1-7) and 5 years in secondary school. All subjects are taught through English. Usually, children start primary school at 7 years old and they finish at 14 years when they are awarded a Certificate of Primary Education. Zambia has approximately 3,800 primary schools. (Ireland has 3,158). The Government in Zambia is working, with help from Irish Aid, to make sure that all children and young people get a good education. Ten years ago only 2 out of 3 children went to school, but now almost all children in Zambia go to primary school.

Chiyatho is a popular game played by young Zambians. To play, follow the instructions below: 1. Draw a small circle on the ground using chalk. 2. Fill the circle with a number of stones (or any round objects). 3. Throw one stone up into the air. 4. While this stone is in the air, move all the other stones outside the circle. 5. Make sure to catch the stone you have thrown up before it hits the ground! 6. Throw a stone up into the air again. 7. While it’s in the air, move all the other stones, except one, back inside the circle. 8. Follow steps 3-7 again but leave two stones outside the circle this time. 9. Repeat steps 3-8 until all of the stones are outside the circle. When two (or more) people are playing together they each have their own circle on the ground and the same number of stones. The person who completes step 9 first is the winner.

Education for all the World’s Children
MORE CHILDREN ARE GETTING AN EDUCATION
T
he governments of most countries in the world have been trying to make sure that all children get a chance to go to school. There have been big improvements in Ireland’s partner countries where Irish Aid works with governments on MDG 2. In Mozambique, the number of girls starting primary school has increased by more than 10% since 2005. In Lesotho, 67% of pupils now finish primary school, compared with 61% in 2010. And in Zambia, the number of children starting primary school grew from 68% to 95% between 2003 and 2010.
FOCUS ON
Education
WHY DO SOME CHILDREN NOT GET AN EDUCATION? 61 million children around the world still don’t have a chance to go to school because: • They have to work to help to support their family • They live very far away from a school • The school has been destroyed by floods, drought or some other disaster • War or conflict makes it dangerous to go to school
WHAT IT MEANS:
M
illennium Development Goal 2 (MDG 2) is about making sure that every child in the world can get a primary school education.
WHY IT MATTERS:
C
• t he school building is not good enough • there are not enough books, paper or pens • there are too many children in each class • teachers are not well trained
WHAT CAN WE DO?
1
89 countries have signed up to try to achieve the Millennium Development Goals, including MDG 2. All of the MDGs are linked. For example, making sure that children get nutritious food (MDG 1 - Stamp out poverty and hunger) can help to achieve MDG 2. Without good food it is very hard
This will help: • to fight climate change
which will help • to reduce the amount of crops that are destroyed by floods and droughts
so that • farmers in developing countries can grow more food
so that • their children can have enough nutritious food
and • can grow properly and go to school and learn.
Illustration: Steve Simpson
ountries from all over the world have signed up to the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights and the Convention on the Rights of the Child. By signing they have agreed and stated that all children have the RIGHT TO EDUCATION and that primary education should be free for every child in the world. Going to school makes life better for children. Education helps you to develop your talents and skills and feel more confident, and means that you are better able to take part in your community, get a good job and support yourself and your family.
In some places, boys get to go to school but girls do not, because it is not the tradition to educate girls, or they are expected to help at home with the younger children, or marry at a young age. In many other cases children have access to school but don’t get a proper education because:
for a child to grow properly and to go to school and learn. Because all of the MDGs are linked, what we do to achieve any one of the Goals can also help to achieve the others. Without a proper education it is difficult for children to have a good life. Children who can’t go to school usually continue to be poor when they grow up and have their own children. So, to fight poverty, we need to work together to achieve the Millennium Development Goal of educating all the world’s children. Remember that what we do here in Ireland affects people in other places! Ireland can play its part by continuing to help developing countries to build more schools, train teachers and make sure that girls get the same rights as boys, so that every child will get an education. And we can all play our part. One example is that we can reduce the amount of energy we use at work, in cars and at school to help fight climate change.

Put the correct number beside each of these Goals. Many people think that all the Goals are equally important and that no Goal can be achieved without the others. For example, having enough food (MDG 1) and being able to go to school (MDG 2) are linked. Can you see how other MDGs are linked? Draw lines connecting any MDGs that you think are linked.
