McDonald’s Qatar and Education Above All officials exchange the agreement.
In line with its commitment to supporting the community every day, especially when and in ways they need it most, McDonald’s Qatar signed a partnership with Education Above All (EAA) to support the foundation’s programs for two years through awareness-building, fundraising and volunteering.
To celebrate the partnership launch, McDonald’s Qatar hosted a Happy Day at the First and Second Assalam Schools which was attended by General Manager of McDonald’s Qatar, Mithqual Abu Nasser, and EAA Programme Director, Talal Al-Hothal. During the Day, executives toured the school while children engaged in fun activities and received Happy Meal Boxes full of yummy food.
Development License Partner and Licensee for McDonald’s Qatar Kamal Saleh Al Mana said, “As we have in the past, McDonald’s Qatar – a 100 percent locally owned and operated company – continues to prioritise its responsibility towards strengthening the foundation of the community in which we operate and finding ways to serve bright futures, in addition to tasty food.
Through our partnership with Education Above All Foundation, we underscore our commitment to the idea, enshrined in Qatar National Vision (QNV) 2030, that for true development to occur, a prosperous society should have access to quality education, especially for its deserving children.”
For his part, Talal Al Hothal, the EAA director overseeing the Together Project that is running the partnership on behalf of the Foundation, said: “This agreement outlines what promises to be a fruitful partnership. We are looking forward to cooperating with McDonald’s Qatar to whom we extend our thanks for supporting our mission to broaden educational access, particularly for children from marginalized backgrounds. Education is the key to unlocking the Sustainable Development Goals. By supporting education we not only empower our youth, but build a more prosperous future for Qatar.”
