4 Ways We Bolster Education

Education is a crucial stepping stone to achieving our vision of a world where every woman, man and child leads a healthy and fulfilling life of self-reliance and dignity—which is why it is at the heart of all our work. It takes a truly holistic approach to end hunger and poverty, and when this includes access to education, everyone thrives. 

1. We promote equal education for girls

Animators across Asia, Africa and Latin America run educational campaigns to promote childhood primary school enrollment, especially for girl children. In Bangladesh, we continue to implement the Safe Schools for Girls campaign to increase girls’ attendance in school, reduce dropouts, improve the quality of education available to girls and promote additional opportunities for girls in and out of school.

2. We implement preschool and school feeding programs

Epicenters in Africa operate preschool programs that include the provision of one nutritious meal per day. It works to ensure a nutritious meal for the children and promote healthy growth and encourages parents to bring their children to preschool.

 3. We support Youth Ending Hunger Education campaigns 

In Bangladesh, monthly activities are planned in communities with an emphasis on literacy and education, such as environmental education awareness campaigns, debates, math Olympiads, writing competitions, roundtables and blood donation camps.

4. We create functional adult educational programs

Our Adult Literacy programs educate adult community partners and share with them the literacy and numeracy skills necessary to grow their businesses.

Quality education includes the promotion of smart, innovative measures to reach younger students. It also includes relevant education and training that can help address common social, environmental and economic challenges across the world.
