Doha, Qatar: Education Above All (EAA) Foundation, a global development and education foundation, is hosting the Walk for Education: CSR & Sustainability Fair on January 24, 2025, in collaboration with the Museum of Islamic Art (MIA). Themed ‘Help Educate Children,’ the event aligns with the UN International Day of Education and aims to raise awareness and funds to support EAA’s projects providing quality education to vulnerable and marginalized children worldwide.

All community members are invited to attend the fair at MIA Park on January 24, 2025 from 1pm until 9pm, and enjoy a day full of community engagement, fun activities, and meaningful support for education. The fair is expected to bring together over 10,000 attendees at MIA Park, including many schools and private corporations. The event will feature three symbolic walks, each led by corporate partners, where attendees can join to show their solidarity and support for education for marginalized children. A football tournament will also take place, with schools competing in three ages from 10 to 12 years. Winners will receive trophies and special awards for Best Player, Best Goal, and Best Goalkeeper. Additionally, school groups will showcase their creativity through stage performances, including music, dance, and cultural presentations.

The public is encouraged to help educate children by contributing to the construction of two Assalam schools for underprivileged and disabled children in Qatar. Through the ‘Buy a Brick and Build a School’ campaign, individuals can donate QAR 100 per brick, with all proceeds dedicated to building Assalam school that ensure access to quality education for marginalized and vulnerable children in Qatar.

Private corporates can participate through various sponsorship categories ranging from QAR 5,000 to QAR 200,000. These corporates will showcase their CSR and sustainability efforts, engage with the public, and support EAA’s mission to provide education for marginalized children. Of the sponsorship proceeds, 100% will directly fund education projects, while also promoting sports, health, and inclusion among students in Qatar.
