Sheikha Moza launches global push to deliver quality schooling for children

Speaking at the launch of the "Educate A Child" initiative at the World Innovation Summit on Education (WISE), HH Sheikha Moza said that educate a Child will reignite the world’s commitment to the hardest-to-reach children, the forgotten children. "Our mission is to turn attention back to the disadvantaged children of today, who could become confident adults tomorrow, able to fulfill their potential, if we just give them the opportunity," HH Sheikha Moza underlined. "Right now, millions of children are being robbed of their fundamental right to quality education," Sheikha Moza said. "Children in war-ravaged villages in South Sudan, or in overcrowded refugee camps in Yemen. Children living in the flooded plains of Bangladesh, or in isolated or marginalised communities in Kenya. Right across the world, because of disaster, because of poverty, children are being denied a chance to change their destinies. We can change this, and because we can, we must," HH underlined. HH Sheikha Moza noted that more than sixty million children are deprived of education. These figures, HH Shiekha Moza said, cannot be realized and that this number is equal to the number of residents of Beijing, London, Paris, Cairo and Karachi all together.
