Nouakchott: The latest project by the Qatari-Mauritanian Social Development Foundation, an organisation managed by Education Above All Foundation (EAA), has opened this week — the Al Ekhwa school complex.
A delegation from EAA, including CEO Marcio Barbosa and Deputy CEO Fahad Al Sulaiti, travelled to Mauritania for the opening of the new educational facility.
The modern, new school complex has been constructed by the Qatari-Mauritanian Social Development Foundation, an organisation created in December 2004 by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Development in Mauritania and Office of Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser to alleviate poverty and mitigate its negative impacts in Mauritania. The Qatari-Mauritanian Social Development Foundation has spearheaded a number of projects to help address poverty in Mauritania, impacting thousands of people and significantly improving the literacy rate of women.
Representatives from EAA took part in the inauguration ceremony of the Al Ekhwa school complex and signed a Memorandum of Understanding, under which the Ministry of National Education will manage the complex. The school complex, which is located in Boutilimit, consists of a nine-classroom elementary school and a 36-classroom elementary and high school featuring a laboratory, a library and an IT station. Children who were previously out of school and missing out on an education, will also be enrolled in the new school.
Commenting on the opening of the school, Marcio Barbosa, CEO of EAA, said: “It is a great pleasure to be here for the opening of Al Ekhwa school complex. The project aims to have a lasting impact on the community and bring a significant change to the lives of children.
The many initiatives undertaken by the Qatari-Mauritanian Social Development Foundation are determined to take a holistic approach to making a difference to Mauritanian communities, by addressing health, wellbeing and creating opportunities in the workforce.’
