Educate A Child Fact Sheet - July 2019
Today, there are 64 million children who have no access to quality primary education due to barriers, such as extreme poverty, cultural barriers and conflict. From the start, EAC has worked in partnership with a range of organisations and stakeholders to realise its mandate to reach at least 10 million out of school children worldwide with quality primary education. To date, EAC’s financial commitment has surpassed $674 million with additional leveraged funds of more than $1.1 billion in partner cofunding. Total funding for EAC projects now exceeds $1.8 billion.
In April 2018, EAC crossed a significant milestone in the history of education by securing commitments to enrol in excess of its organisational goal. At present, EAC has over 10.4 million enrolment commitments and actual enrolments total more than 8.4 million.
Launched in November 2012, by Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser of Qatar, Educate A Child (EAC) is a global programme of the Education Above All Foundation (EAA).
