’1GOAL: Education for All’ in Bangladesh

On the eve of FIFA World Cup 2010, ActionAid Bangladesh organised 64 football matches. In 26 districts of Bangladesh, these football matches manifested the ‘1GAOL: Education for All’ campaign. In total, 704 girls and 704 boys participated in this campaign.

The events raised awareness in the community level on the importance of education for all. Besides, girls’ football matches were a huge breakthrough in the community and established that girls have equal right to participate and enjoy sports equally.

The children of Bangladesh need more support for their education and the enhancement of skills in order to get established in the society. We appeal to you to extend your solidarity and kind support for these poor and marginalised children. For Child Sponsorship or any type of funding, please contact:
