EAA Foundation Partnered with Global Affairs Canada to Expand Education Opportunities in Developing Countries
As part of this Framework of Collaboration, EAA Foundation has committed at least USD 40 million, while GAC will contribute about USD 55 million (CDN $85M), totaling approximately USD 95 million, to enhance educational opportunities, equip youth and children with green skills, and drive social impact through innovative initiatives.
This collaboration seeks to uplift youth and children in over 60 countries by advancing access to quality education through green skills, creating employment opportunities, and fostering social development, ultimately empowering marginalised communities to thrive. The partnership emphasises coordinated efforts in shaping development policies and implementing educational programs while addressing critical global challenges such as climate change and improving the quality and accessibility of education.
Fahad Sulaiti, CEO of the Education Above All Foundation, said: "This partnership with Global Affairs Canada is a profound testament to what can be achieved when foundations and governments unite with a common vision. Together, we embark on a transformative journey for sustainable development that harnesses our collective strengths and resources to make education accessible and a brighter future through green skilling for vulnerable communities worldwide.”
Aligned with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, this agreement marks a shared commitment by the EAA Foundation and GAC to contribute substantial resources and expertise to foster long-term, impactful educational solutions for the world’s most underserved communities.
