To give new impetus to a noble cause in the blessed atmosphere of the Holy month of Ramadan which is also a month of giving and charity, Education Above All (EAA) Foundation has launched a campaign to raise funds with a noble aim to provide quality education to impoverished and marginalised children, youth and women around the world.
Education Above All Foundation last month accomplished a remarkable achievement when its chairperson H H Sheikha Moza bint Nasser announced that EAA’s Educate A Child (EAC) programme had succeeded in its objective of helping 10 million of the most marginalized out of school children to receive quality, primary education.
This well-timed campaign will raise awareness about the challenges the world face in accessing quality education as well as collect donations at different locations across the country.
Different programmes being run by Education Above All Foundation like Educate A Child (EAC), Reach Out To Asia (ROTA), and Al Fakhoora, which include several projects across the world particularly education for Palestinian and Rohingya refugees will benefit from the funds raised through this newly-launched campaign of EAA.
At the time of announcing the achievement of proving primary education to 10 million last month at New York Public Library, HH Sheikha Moza had stressed that the next five years would see ‘Educate A Child’ work to expand its existing programs and implement new ones.
Her Highness had noted that since this project began, Educate A Child had participated in 82 partnerships across 50 countries. They leveraged together a $1.8bn investment; a third of that sum was from the government of Qatar.
Now when EAA has launched a fresh fund-raising campaign, it is duty of all of us to contribute generously to the cause keeping an aim in mind that no child should stay out of school in any part of the world.
EAA Foundation is also eligible to receive Sadaqah and Zakat donations. “We are elated to be eligible to receive Sadaqah and Zakat Donations after a careful screening process. Education Above All Foundation believes education is the key to unlocking a human’s potential and a driver of human development. We work to support the world’s hardest to reach people who have been affected by poverty, conflict, natural disasters, and discrimination to give them the power to change their lives for the better,” Mohamed Al Naama, Senior Representative of Fundraising Department at EAA, said while launching the awareness cum fund raising campaign of EAA.
