Education Above All (EAA) Foundation has announced a contribution from Chevron Phillips Chemical Company Qatar, which will see the chemical producer invest QR385,000 into EAA’s Together Project.
While EAA Foundation continues to tackle deep-rooted socioeconomic and geographical barriers hindering children’s education across its globally renowned programmes, Together Project was launched in 2016 to bring opportunities to out-of-school-children of expatriates from disadvantaged backgrounds in Qatar.
To date, Alsilm schools, run as part of the Together project, have enrolled a total of 1,496 students of 22 different nationalities, both Arabic and non-Arabic speaking.
“We strive to be the neighbour of choice in the communities where we operate and seek to invest in charitable programmes that improve lives around the world,” said Jay Bickett, vice-president, Qatar, for Chevron Phillips Chemical. “Together with Education Above All Foundation, we look forward to improving access to education for disadvantaged populations in Qatar.”
Maryam al Mannai, Together Project officer at Education Above All, said: “Education Above all is proud to work with partners like Chevron Phillips Chemical as we strive to provide all students with the inclusive and equitable quality education. As a global company employing thousands, the company understands that talent exists everywhere regardless of socioeconomic status, and given the right opportunity, any student can thrive.
According to Chevron Philips Chemical, education and workforce development is a cornerstone of its community involvement programme, and it supports organisations that seek to encourage educational excellence and make positive social impacts.
