For decades, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has been characterised by extreme poverty, cycles of violent conflict, and lack of socio-economic opportunities, with children and youth among those most affected.

Since 2012, Educate A Child (EAC) has been in partnership with the UN refugee agency (UNHCR) in 12 countries across the world to provide over 270,000 refugee children with access to quality primary education. Rwanda is one of these countries.

In partnership with EAC, Aide et Action International (AEA) is leading a consortium of 17 national and international organisations to provide education to 57,372 out-of-school children in all 25 provinces of Cambodia by the end of 2017. The EAC project seeks to reach the most marginalised children, including children with disabilities, to ensure that they receive a quality primary education.

Qatar Airways proudly supports the globally focused Educate A Child programme launched in November 2012 by Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, and recently made a donation of QAR2.4 million to help EAC’s worldwide agenda.
