Doha: The CEO of Education Above All Foundation (EAA) Fahd bin Hamad Al Sulaiti said EAA is currently carrying out a number of educational projects in Asia supported by Qatar Fund For Development (QFFD), alongside a group of global partners.

He added that EAA is laser-focused on optimising access to education opportunities for the marginalised groups and out-of-school children and operates in 33 projects in 21 Asian countries.

Speaking to Qatar News Agency (QNA), Al Sulaiti highlighted that QFFD joint projects offer the possibility of access to good education for 7,441,256 beneficiaries in all Asian countries.

In Nepal, QFFD succeeded in achieving tangible results through 13 projects, such as establishing and optimising the educational infrastructure by building 105 new schools and upgrading 145 others which had a profound and positive impact on local communities with the abundance of opportunities for 188,554 beneficiaries from the primary education.

QFFD launched the ‘Reach Mindanao’ project in Philippines, which helped young people complete their secondary education and achieve self-sufficiency, either through decent works, or initiating their private businesses which profoundly advanced the community and supported local peace efforts from which 5,296 people had benefited, Al Sulaiti added.
