Unicef will deliver a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Qatar Fund For Development (QFFD) and Kenya's Ministry of Education in favour of equal access to quality primary education for out-of-school children (OOSC) in Kenya.

Contributions from the signing of this MOU would fund education services for 250,000 OOSC, targeting the most vulnerable children in urban informal settlements and arid and semi-arid lands, particularly those with disabilities. Unicef, Education Above All Foundation's (EAA) strategic partner, will adopt the initiative, which seeks to expand community capacity and transparency to improve OOSC participation and retention.

Furthermore, the initiative strives to ensure high-quality teaching and learning by introducing new curriculum frameworks, enhancing teachers' capabilities, renovating schools, building washrooms, and improving access to learning for children with disabilities, to ensure that all children participating in the project have equal opportunities.

Together with its collaborators, EAA's Educate A Child (EAC) initiative has secured over 791,000 commitments to enroll OOSC in quality primary education in Kenya, with over 540,000 OOSC already enrolled. EAA aims to counter poverty, rehabilitate classrooms, offer psychosocial assistance and sports instruction, implement tailored capacity-building programmes, and campaign for the education rights of the hardest-to-reach OOSC to complement national education policies and goals. As a result, EAA seeks to address educational challenges such as poverty, immigrant status, gender segregation, insufficient facilities, and difficult geographic locations.
