Lyreco for Education
LYRECO FOR EDUCATION SUPPORTS THE DEVELOPMENT OF EDUCATION OF CHILDREN THROUGHOUT THE WORLD
It means a great deal to Lyreco to support and promote the education of children around the world, because children are our future and their future starts with proper access to education. Last year, through a partnership with UNICEF, Lyreco enabled 10,243 children from Bangladesh to join school at the age of three. To build on our efforts to educate children, Lyreco has now decided to go even further and create Lyreco For Education.
- The mission:
- • help to achieve projects designed to improve education for children in developing countries
- The commitments:
- • support an education project in a different country every year
- • be transparent on how the donated funds are used
In 2009, Lyreco For Education supports the education of Children in Vietnam
In 2009, Lyreco For Education establishes a partnership with AEA to develop the Phu Luong Project.
Check the AEA website for more information: http://www.aea-sea.org/en/index.php
The Phu Luong Project is a brand new project which consists of:
1. renovating and equipping schools
2. developing appropriate structures of education to allow children to access schools (train teachers, provide with furniture, increase parents' awareness of care and nutrition, create links between the school and families...).
We aim to raise enough money to renovate 20 classrooms and allow as many children as possible to access school.
As customers, you will get the possibility to support this project through promotional campaigns throughout the year.
- Phu Luong = district of Thai Nguyen (North Vietnam)
- • only 59% of children in the district go to school
- • 70% of classes in the district are organised either at home or in warehouses
It also grants them access to appropriate care, vaccination programs, nutrition and strives to give them an equal chance to succeed in life.
