About JLI

An international collaboration on evidence for faith actors’ activities, contributions, and challenges to achieving humanitarian and development goals. Founded in 2012, JLI came together with a single shared conviction: there is an urgent need to build our collective understanding, through evidence, of faith actors in humanitarianism and development.

We, the representatives of the organizations listed below, have come together calling for schools to reopen and to prioritize children’s mental health, emotional, and spiritual well-being. We present this statement on the World Day of Prayer and Action for Children, commemorated annually on World Children’s Day, the anniversary of the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. We call for urgent action by leaders worldwide, including political and religious leaders, faith communities from all religious traditions, policymakers, teachers, and others concerned about children’s well-being.
