It would have been helpful during the Ebola outbreak, when extra funding would have helped to reopen schools quickly, rather than leaving five million children unable to pursue their studies. It could provide opportunities for students in Iraq and Palestine whose schools were destroyed and have yet to be reopened, as well as for some half-million Syrian children in Lebanon, displaced by four years of mayhem.
这样一笔基金能帮助50%因冲突、内战或人道主义紧急状况而失学的全球儿童——符合条件的男孩和女孩约有2，800万。这样一笔基金也可以在埃博拉疫情爆发时发挥作用，这笔额外资金本可以迅速修复学校，而不是任由500万儿童无法完成学业。这笔基金还能为伊拉克和巴勒斯坦儿童提供机会，那里被毁的学校还有待重建，此外黎巴嫩因四年动乱而流离失所的约50万叙利亚儿童也有可能受益。
