Qatar Airways has launched its online donation facility to support the Educate A Child (EAC) program, further extending its partnership with the Education Above All Foundation (EAAF).

Travelers can now donate online when booking a flight on Qatar Airways’ website, as well as using the on-board donation envelopes that are collected by the cabin crew. Qatar Airways’ in-flight entertainment system, its Oryx Magazine and social media networks are all being utilized to promote and create awareness about the new donation facility and the EAC program.

Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Akbar Al-Baker said: “Qatar Airways is honored to partner with Educate A Child, and to support the Education Above All Foundation to achieve its goal to provide 10 million children with primary education by the end of the 2015-2016 school year. As Qatar’s national carrier, we are proud to spread awareness around the world about this important program.”

Travelers can donate online while booking their itinerary on Qatar Airways. When booking, a small dialogue box will show the EAC donation options that vary from a minimum of $1 to a maximum of $50.

EAC received QR2.4 million in November 2014 as a result of the Qatar Airways partnership. This year, the airline has introduced online donations to increase this charitable contribution even further and make it easier for passengers to donate in the future.

EAC was launched in 2012 by Sheikha Moza bint Nasser as a global program of the EAAF and aims to significantly reduce the number of children worldwide who are denied their right to education. EAC works with partner organizations toward its mission to trigger substantial breakthroughs in providing out of school children faced with extreme poverty, cultural barriers and conflict affected environments an opportunity for a full curriculum of primary education.
