Educate A Child is a global programme that aims to significantly reduce the number of children worldwide denied their fundamental right to education; an extension of Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser of Qatar's mandate as a UNESCO Special Envoy on Basic and Higher Education, a United Nations Millennium Development Goal Advocate and a Steering Committee member of UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s Global Education First initiative.

Qatar Airways pledged its support to Educate A Child through signing the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the programme to bring quality primary education to millions of out of school children at a Plenary Session. The airline aims to provide support through its comprehensive suite of communication platforms beneficial in reaching a wide global passenger base to inform and showcase the initiative, including in-flight entertainment systems, in-flight magazines, web site and social media channels as well as financial donations collected on board and monetary contributions from the airline.

The Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation (CBTF) is an organisation that was established in 1988 to improve the treatment, quality of life and the long term outlook for children with brain and spinal cord tumours through research, support, education, and advocacy to families and survivors.

The diagnosis of brain tumour in a child is the start of a lifelong process that requires daily attention and support from family and friends.  CBTF is one of the few organizations that work with both the survivor and their family to support them through a continuum of care--during treatment and well beyond. Although no parent should suffer the loss of a child, the organisation provides bereavement support programs for families as well. The Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation's mission is to make sure that these families never feel alone and to fund research to ensure that this devastating disease is eradicated.

Qatar Airways supports the foundation by contributing to the annual benefit organized to raise funds for the foundation.
