DOHA: Reach Out To Asia (ROTA) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with AFIF Charity aimed at engaging children and youth in quality education programmes.
The MoU, which extends for three years, establishes a framework for cooperation between ROTA and AFIF with the aim of supporting marginalised communities and crisis-prone countries with low educational indicators.
Joint action will include the organisation of educational activities and fundraising events as well as the promotion of knowledge sharing and analytical work among other aspects of mutual cooperation in a bid to improve the quality of education.
ROTA’s Executive Director, Essa Al Mannai, said: “The agreement reflects our keenness to cooperate with partners, volunteers, local communities and non-governmental organisations to find effective solutions to the challenges facing disadvantaged communities.”
“ROTA works closely with partners as well as local charities and non-governmental organisations in addition to other stakeholders in order to provide quality education for all children in primary and secondary schools. At ROTA, we achieve this goal by meeting the real needs of beneficiaries, taking advantage of available local expertise, encouraging the exchange of best practices, equipping people with the required skills and applying innovative, practical and sustainable solutions to address the obstacles that prevent young people from accessing quality education during crisis periods,” he added.
Engineer Ibrahim bin Ali, CEO of AFIF Charity, said: “At AFIF we seek to establish strategic partnerships that support the most vulnerable groups. ROTA is one of the most distinguished organisations, particularly in the field of education, that can assist AFIF in establishing an integrated educational system and finding alternative solutions to provide disadvantaged children access to education.”
