The Education Above All (EAA) Foundation will support the Assalam Schools, a flagship initiative of the organisation with a fundraising campaign during the ‘Walk for Education’ event at MIA Park coming Friday. The event will feature three symbolic walks around the park at 2pm, 4pm and 7pm, alongside a range of exciting activities, including football tournaments, art competitions, bouncy castles, raffles, stage performances, food carts, and stalls highlighting corporate social responsibility initiatives. A special fundraising campaign, ‘Buy a Brick, Build a School’, will also take place during the event, allowing attendees to contribute directly to the construction and development of Assalam Schools. Every contribution will help provide a brighter future for children and ensure they have access to the quality education they deserve. The Assalam Schools, a flagship initiative of the Education Above All (EAA) Foundation under its ‘Together Project’, is transforming lives by providing free education to marginalised children and youth in Qatar. Since their inception, these tuition-free institutions have empowered over 18,000 students from diverse Arab and non-Arab communities, ensuring fair access to quality education and transforming countless lives. Working in co-operation with the Ministry of Education and Higher Education and supported by local donors, the five Assalam Schools have become a symbol of hope and resilience. Enrolment across the Assalam Schools network has grown by over 60%, with an impressive attendance rate of 89%. These schools offer flexible learning options, including dual shifts, adult education, mainstream schooling, and homeschooling, catering to the diverse needs of students. As part of its commitment to expanding access to quality education, EAA Foundation’s Together Project is introducing two groundbreaking initiatives for the academic year 2025-26. The Fourth Assalam School will apply two curricula: the Cambridge curriculum and Qatar’s National Curriculum for Grades 1-6 students from different nationalities. Simultaneously, the Sixth Assalam School will pioneer programmes for children with moderate to severe disabilities, offering a tailored, adaptive curriculum and innovative learning methods such as online classes, home tutor visits, and occasional school trips. These initiatives represent a first in Qatar and demonstrate EAA’s commitment to inclusive education. EAA Foundation encourages everyone in Qatar to join this impactful event and support children in their pursuit of education.
