Educate A Child (EAC), a programme of Education Above All (EAA), and Qatar Charity (QC) announced the launch.

EAA Deputy CEO Fahad Al Sulaiti said, "We hope that this joint initiative with Qatar Charity will be a step towards making a difference to out-of-school children." The one-year campaign, will focus on fundraising for educational projects and activities, in countries where children suffer from hard and extreme conditions.
The campaign will seek to raise QR 110 Million, which equates to over 270,000 children receiving access to one year's education.
