Education Above All Foundation, UNICEF Mark Ten Years of Partnership

New York, September 15 (QNA) - A special exhibition took place alongside the 78th United Nations General Assembly, celebrating the ten-year partnership between Education Above All Foundation (EAA) and UNICEF.
In a statement, the EAA stated that this partnership has achieved a major transformation in the lives of more than five million children and youth in 17 countries, through its "Educate a Child" program, as well as achieving global progress towards realizing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, especially Goal 4, which relates to inclusive and equitable quality education for all.
Called A Decade of Dreams, the exhibition features installations of photos and videos of children and youth sharing their personal journeys. The images vividly illustrate the transformative support provided by UNICEF and EAA Foundation in helping these children reach their potential and realize their dreams.
EAA CEO Fahad Al Sulaiti said: "EAA and UNICEF have worked together in diverse countries, enabling vulnerable children, whether fleeing conflict or stricken by poverty, to learn and thereby take up a path to a brighter future. Those children raise their communities through the power of education, which brings greater prosperity, better health, and the ability to overcome challenges." "Education is an entryway to meet the many needs of children, especially when they are facing multiple deprivations. Children cannot learn when they are hungry when they feel unsafe or grappling with trauma. Together, UNICEF and EAA will continue to turn the page on the future of millions of children and support quality education and the necessary services for the learning journey," said Deputy Executive Director of Programs at UNICEF Omar Abdi.
