Education Above All Foundation

Ambitious, capable, and eager to contribute—Egypt’s youth hold the key to a thriving, sustainable future for the country. Yet, without clear pathways to employment, too many struggle to transition from education to meaningful careers, limiting their ability to build secure livelihoods. Together with Education Above All Foundation and UNICEF Egypt & Shabab Balad (Generation Unlimited Egypt) we are creating opportunities for 195,670 young people in Egypt to secure jobs and start businesses in high-demand sectors, tackling unemployment and empowering youth to contribute to a resilient economy. #SkillsRightNow #GreenFutures 📷 UNICEF/Emad/2024

No matter the emergency, children, schools and education must be protected. Always.

What an honor and pleasure to have delivered on behalf of the Education Above All Foundation Al Fakhoora Program the keynote presentation on supporting quality and relevant tertiary education for marginalized and conflict-affected youth at the The International Academic Forum (IAFOR) 11th Asian Conference on Education & International Development in #Tokyo !  The #international, #intercultural and #interdisciplinary Conference had an elite audience of some 830 delegates in person and online from over 60 countries. The #keynote presentation highlighted: 1. The global context of #tertiary education with particular focus on the marginalized and vulnerable #youth. 2. The barriers that such individuals and #communities confront, and what needs to be done to break those barriers to create inclusive tertiary #education opportunities for them. 3. The financial gap in tertiary education, and the innovative #financing solutions and resources to overcome that challenge to help make the dreams of marginalized youth become a reality. 4. The power of #nations working together, along with international development, to create impactful and sustainable success stories where education becomes a path to global #citizenship and #peace. Education isn’t just a right—it’s the key to global citizenship, a driver of #prosperity, and the foundation of a more peaceful, sustainable future.

Transforming Education, One School at a Time! We’re on the ground in Songwe where the Government of Tanzania, in partnership with Education Above All Foundation's Educate A Child programme and UNICEF Tanzania is witnessing real change for out-of-school children. During a joint visit to Isenzanya and Ipunga Primary Schools, we observed learners in action, saw attendance monitoring in practice, and assessed WASH facilities that are crucial for a healthy learning environment. Outside the classroom walls, we also got to meet with school committees, local leaders, parents, and community members—because quality primary education thrives when the whole community is involved! Together, we are making sure that every child has the opportunity to learn, grow, and build a brighter future. #ForEveryChild #EducationForAll #LeaveNoChildBehind #EducateEveryChild

Over 6,000 attacks on education were recorded worldwide in 2022-2023 alone. Schools have been bombed, looted, and occupied, depriving millions of children and youth of their right to education. Yet, most attacks go unpunished, leaving schools at risk and students unprotected. Education is more than learning, it’s a lifeline in crises.

FIGHTING POVERTY FROM IT'S ROOTS Another busy and exciting week here Stromme Foundation Uganda! 😀. We Spent the last 3 days doing what we do best.....: FIGHTING POVERTY!!!. You see, Poverty has many forms and shapes but regardless of which form it takes if you must fight it, you better be fighting it from its roots. Here at Stromme Foundation, we believe that one of the most effective ways to fight poverty is by promoting the provision Quality and Inclusive education to the most marginalized populations including refugees, Persons with disabilities and Girls. We want our children to enroll in school, stay in school and complete school. With support from Education Above All Foundation and The AKO Foundation, we Commissioned 2 classroom blocks and 2 latrine blocks in Mijale Primary School; Distributed 1,616 student desks & 7,552 Text books to our learners with the aim of improving their learning experience; Distributed 64 executive chairs, 64 executive tables, over 40 dozens of chalk boxes and dusters to our teachers with the aim of improving their teaching experience. These materials benefited 128 schools in Obongi and Yumbe districts under the Rising Project. It is true, that when children enjoy learning and teachers enjoy teaching, meaningful and impactful education is guaranteed and inevitably, poverty is disarmed. Our gratitude goes to our Rising implementing partners RICE WESTNILE & Community Empowerment for Rural Development-CEFORD Uganda for a job well done, to the Local Governments' of Obongi and Yumbe Districts for the great partnership and conducive work environment provided to Stromme Foundation and it's partners. Deep gratitude goes to the Stromme Foundation Uganda team Joseph Walugembe, Moira Adeke, Hannington Komakech, Isaac Morris Ojok, Andrew Oduti, Brenda A.,Edwin Mpaabe Enosh Ojwang, Ndiwa Peter, Ruth Akongo and all the others not mentioned here for the relentless effort geared towards achieving our goal and to Erik Lunde for giving me an opportunity to be part of such a great, justifiable and legitimate cause.
