UNICEF Australia - Corporate Partnership 2010

Ideal Resources supports UNICEF Australia in its education appeal. When UNICEF asked children around the world about the importance of education, their comments were unequivocal. In the words of one child, "a lack of knowledge is deadly."

More than 120 million children are out of school, most of them girls and the sad truth is that girls who miss out on education are more likely to live in poverty, to become vulnerable to sexual abuse, to get HIV/AIDS and to die younger than their more educated sisters.

“School teaches more than reading, writing and arithmetic. It teaches lessons for life.”

These benefits will last for generations. Educated girls contribute more to the economic growth of their community and are more likely to ensure that their own children - both girls and boys - receive an education.

At Ideal Resources we know that every dollar put towards education through UNICEF is vital. It help’s get children into school all over the world - by building classrooms, supplying books, pencils and other materials, training teachers and working with governments to get more children into school.
