Shafallah Centre for Children with Special Needs took part in a special auction,donating three of its students’ paintings. The proceeds from the auction went to Educate a Child (EAC), a global programme of Education Above All Foundation (EAA), and an initiative adopted by the Arab Museum, which supports the access of the largest number of children to primary education.
EAC is a global initiative launched by H H Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, Chairperson of the Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development and Unesco Special Envoy for Basic & Higher Education, during the World Innovation Summit for Education (WISE) that took place in Doha in 2012. EAC works with partner organisations toward its mission to trigger significant breakthroughs in providing out of school children faced with extreme poverty, cultural barriers, and conflict-affected environments an opportunity for a full course of quality primary education.
Shafallah Centre’s support of EAC stems from its commitment and vision that recognises the importance of enabling children to fulfil their true potential in any circumstance, and enjoy their full rights to become active members of society.
