About EAA

Opening up a world of education

Children love to learn. If they are denied access to knowledge, we also deny them the opportunity to change their lives for the better.

Fostering Innovation: Education Above All Foundation

Cover of the Fostering Innovation by Education Above All

Education Above All (EAA) Foundation was established in 2012 by Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser.

Our aim is to build a global movement that contributes to human, social and economic development through the provision of quality education for all. With a particular focus on those affected by poverty, conflict, and disaster, we champion the needs of children, youth, and women to empower them to become active members of their communities.

"If we wish to leave the world better than we found it, we must pursue innovation in our lifetimes. The global momentum of our creativity and our collective ability to do better together across cultures are our hope for inclusive human development for generations to come."

Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser

We support education through six programmes and departments, each pursuing a ground-breaking approach to a core education challenge:

  • Educate A Child (EAC) mobilises unprecedented efforts and results to enrol and retain outof- school children (OOSC) in quality primary education.
  • Al Fakhoora is a programme which enables the most marginalised, particularly refugees and Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), to reach their maximum potential, despite their surrounding circumstances, by removing barriers and facilitating access to quality, relevant higher education.
  • Protect Education in Insecurity and Conflict (PEIC) is an advocacy movement that has led the world to recognise the importance of protecting education from attack.
  • Reach Out To Asia (ROTA) empowers marginalised youth (15-24 years) through Education for Climate Action with the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes needed to take action to address the issue of climate change.
  • Innovation Development (ID) works towards identifying persistent challenges in global education and designs and develops innovative solutions to make learning accessible to all. The ID programme has produced five unique education innovations in four years and won numerous awards.
  • Together is a project that aims to eliminate barriers to education in Qatar by facilitating the establishment of alternative education institutes and programmes in collaboration with ministries and NGOs.
