What is the Abdul Aziz Al Ghurair Refugee Education Fund?<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

<\/p>\n

Education offers the best chance for refugee youth to both improve their own lives and improve wellbeing across their communities. The unfortunate reality is that continued education is an inaccessible luxury for most.\u00a0 We risk losing an entire generation of young people to futures crippled by poor access to learning opportunities.<\/p>\n

With this knowledge, in 2018, H.E. Abdul Aziz Al Ghurair, Emirati businessman and philanthropist created a 120 million AED (32.6M USD) fund to support 20,000 refugees and vulnerable youth to access secondary, vocational and tertiary education. The Fund, awarded over three years, supports high impact education programs in Jordan and Lebanon. In the UAE, the Fund benefits Arab children of <\/span><\/span>families, who due to wars and disasters temporarily reside in the UAE<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n

H.E. Abdul Aziz Al Ghurair\u2019s decision to support refugee education is based on the alarming statistics showing the increasing gaps and challenges facing these young people. Almost 3 million Syrian refugees have sought refuge in Jordan and Lebanon, in addition to the almost 2.2 million (in Jordan) and 450,000 (in Lebanon) Palestinian refugees who have been living there for decades (UNRWA 2019<\/a>).<\/em> More than half of Syrian refugees are children and youth. Completion of secondary education by refugees (1.4% in Lebanon, 4.8% in Jordan) (Pathways to and Beyond Education for Refugee Youth in Jordan and Lebanon AGFE<\/a><\/em>) has remained extremely low since the beginning of the conflict. In both Lebanon and Jordan, almost 45% of the 657,000 school aged refugees are out of school (UNHCR 2020)<\/i><\/a> with the vast majority of these being at the secondary school level (<\/i>KIdsRights<\/i> 2018)<\/i><\/a>. The enrolment rate of Syrian refugees in post-secondary education is also extremely low; 1.6% in vocational education and under 5% in tertiary education (Pathways to and Beyond Education for Refugee Youth in Jordan and Lebanon AGFE<\/a><\/em>).<\/p>\n

The Abdul Aziz Al Ghurair Refugee Education Fund is administered by the Abdulla Al Ghurair Foundation (AGF)<\/a>. The fund awards grants based on a competitive selection process to organisations working directly with refugee and conflict-affected children and youth in the United Arab Emirates, Lebanon and Jordan. The fund has taken an impact-driven approach, and values a partnership model, working closely to build capacities of partners based on emerging needs from the ground.<\/p>\n

Almost 45% of the 657,000<\/strong> school aged refugees are out of school (UNHCR 2020) with the vast majority being at the secondary school level (KidsRights 2018). Whereby under 5% of Syrian refugees completed secondary education (UNHCR 2018). The enrollment rate of Syrian refugees in vocational education in both countries is even lower at 1.6%, and the percentage accessing tertiary education is under 5% in both countries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”5790″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]

<\/p>\n

The Fund is administered by the Abdulla Al Ghurair Foundation. Grants<\/strong> are provided\u00a0to support education programs at the secondary, vocational and tertiary levels of education that address an acute education gap\u00a0and\u00a0are impact-driven and scalable.\u00a0It is important to address these challenges because education is a vital component in the life of a refugee.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It creates a safe environment amidst the disruption, provides livelihood opportunities, equips them with the necessary skills and knowledge to be able to plan their pathways and in the process enables them to positively contribute to their hosting country. While the need for educational support for refugees is critical at all levels of education, research shows that in times of crisis, secondary, vocational and tertiary education levels tend to get most overlooked.<\/p>\n

\n

The refugee crisis is one of the most acute challenges of our time. In the Arab world, over 10 million people have been living away from their homes for years or decades, and approximately 50% of them are children and youth. These are young people who were forced to discontinue their education (UNICEF<\/a>,<\/em> 2020) and who deserve a chance at a better future.<\/p>\n

The culture of giving is a living legacy of the founding father of the UAE, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, that has been fostered by our nation\u2019s visionary leadership and philanthropic work. Inspired by their example and the belief that, by their nature private philanthropists should be able to have a larger more strategic impact when they help, I established the Abdul Aziz Al Ghurair Refugee Education Fund in 2018. The Fund supports high-impact education programs at the secondary, vocational, and tertiary levels of education for refugee youth in Jordan and Lebanon. The Fund also supports Arab children of families who, due to wars and disasters, temporarily reside in the UAE, but are unable to afford school fees. I established the Fund to formalize my commitment to help as many refugee youth as I can to access and successfully complete their education so that they may begin working towards a better future for themselves, their communities and our region.<\/p>\n

We are currently in the third year of the Fund. I am pleased to share that our strategic collaborative approach with ten key partners has resulted in supporting over 17,500 children and youth to date. We have also learned many lessons along the way; through partnership and collaboration, we can have a much bigger and better impact. Together, we have been able to support innovative educational programs that respond to the needs on the ground. We provide these resilient young individuals with meaningful educational pathways to improved livelihoods.<\/p>\n

It is with education that young people can develop their mind, their character, and a hopeful perspective to become productive and self-reliant members of their communities. And we, as philanthropists and educators, must empower them to find their own pathways to elevated livelihoods. When I think of this important work, I think of the youth that deserve a chance at a better life. Our scholars like Mounir Al Serwan, a Syrian undergraduate student at the American University of Science and Technology in Beirut, embody this spirit, stating \u201cWe as people need to be educated to survive, to be better and to give back to society. For me, learning and breathing go hand in hand because without access to education I wouldn\u2019t be the person I am today and be able to give back to society.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, with the Covid-19 pandemic further challenging refugees living in overcrowded camps, informal tent settlements and congested host communities where access to online education is out of reach, we need to work harder and better to find solutions. These youth deserve to continue their education and look towards a more hopeful future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
