Doha: Qatar Airways has raised over QR3.8m for Education Above All (EAA) Foundation’s programme, Educate A Child (EAC), during 2019 and 2020.
Since 2013, the airline has worked beside EAC, affirming its responsibility as a global corporate citizen to assist the communities it serves. As part of its efforts to promote the initiative, an EAC video is played on board the airline’s Oryx One in-flight entertainment during all flights, to encourage donations for the most marginalised, out-of-school children around the world.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, H E Akbar Al Baker, said: “We are proud to continue our long-lasting partnership with Education Above All Foundation. Since 2013, together with our passengers, we have and will continue to donate to this worthy cause. With over 59 million primary school-age children in the world who currently have no access to education, we, as a global corporate citizen, have a responsibility to give back to our communities.”
