EAC Brochure 2019
Partnerships have been central to EAC’s strategy to reach over 10.4 million OOSC in a little under six years. This accomplishment shows that by working together even the most intractable global challenges can be addressed, and the hardest-to-reach children can realise their right to quality education.
Aiming to trigger significant breakthroughs and a material difference in the lives of children who have no access to primary education, Educate A Child (EAC), a global programme of the Education Above All Foundation launched in 2012, has been helping millions of out of school children (OOSC) all over the world, through partnership and innovation, overcome the access and retention barriers blocking their path to education. Playing a catalytic role in the field of OOSC and quality primary education, EAC strives to achieve individual and social outcomes for these children, their communities and a more sustainable world for everyone.
Year after year, EAC reaches more OOSC the world over, building on progress and making strides towards universal primary education and the realisation of SDG4 – Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.
