QIC partners with Educate A Child Programme
Launched in 2012 by Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, EAC is a global programme that aims to significantly reduce the number of children worldwide who are denied their right to education. EAC, working with its partner organisations, provides children who are out of school and often faced with extreme poverty, cultural barriers, and conflict-affected environments an opportunity to access a quality primary education.
Commenting on QIC’s partnership in the EAC program, Mr. Ali Al Fadala, Senior Deputy Group President and CEO of QIC Group remarked: “We are very pleased to have the opportunity to help and support the vital work of the Education Above all Foundation and, specifically, the Educate A Child Program. We recognise the importance that education plays in children’s lives and the need to ensure that every child has access to a quality primary education; a fundamental right that is denied to so many children around the world.”
He further added: “For QIC, operating in the financial services sector, we understand the importance of education and training as it is the skills and competencies of our employees that are a key factor in our success. We believe that access to a quality primary education provides an important foundation for future learning and development.”
Commenting on the partnership with QIC, Fahad Hamad Al Sulaiti, Deputy CEO of EAA, said: “We are pleased to see Qatar Insurance Company join the growing number of Qatari organisations who support the work of Education Above All and its programmes. Financial contributions are vital to the success of programmes such as Educate A Child and help us reach our goal of providing quality primary education to 10 million children by 2016”.
QIC’s sponsorship of EAC is an important part of the Group’s wider commitment to a number of Corporate Social Responsibility related initiatives of which we have been and will continue to be an active supporter.
