Public Education Partners

All year round, we strive to bring about positive and lasting change by raising awareness and tackling the root causes of poverty and social injustice.

As part of this effort, we lend our support to, and work with, public education partners whose goals and initiatives are closely aligned to ours.

The Global Campaign for Education (GCE) is a worldwide movement that we’ve worked with for many years now.

Its single focus is to promote everyone’s right to an education.

Every year, millions of campaigners across the globe lobby their governments to keep the promise that world leaders made at the start of the millennium - to provide an education for all by 2015.

Since the movement began in 2000, the number of children missing out on an education has dropped by 40 million to 72 million. But there’s still a long way to go.

Recently, the GCE looked to the power of football to promote change by launching its 1GOAL initiative.

Malaria is entirely preventable and treatable but still kills more children under five in Africa than any other single disease.

That’s why we work closely with Malaria No More UK, an innovative charity set up in 2009 to raise funds and awareness of this deadly disease. The aim is to reach the global goal to end deaths by malaria by 2015.

Malaria No More UK uses the themes of sport, fashion, world music and faith, as well as people’s own stories of malaria to inspire UK mass public awareness, engagement and action.

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation holds the firm belief that every life has equal value – something which is at the core of all of its work.

Comic Relief works closely with the foundation to focus on the eradication of extreme poverty and poor health across Africa.

In recent years, we worked together on an initiative called ‘See Africa Differently’ to spread some good news about Africa and the progress that’s being made across the continent.
