Story
"There are many problems, but I think there is a solution to all these problems; it's just one, and it's education." - Malala Yousafzai
It's all too easy to take education for granted - as children, we moan about homework, wish we didn't have to go, dread tests. And yet across the world, millions of children are denied this basic right.
We realize how lucky our own children are to have access to high-quality education from the earliest age. And so, by running the Brussels 20k and raising money for Build Africa (www.build-africa.org), we are doing one small act to help bring the gift of education to children who will be Africa's future.
Build Africa works with rural communities in Africa to make sure they gain skills and knowledge to help them break out of the cycle of poverty and secure their future. Euroclear's partnership with Build Africa brings funding and hands-on support to two schools in rural Uganda - Kalengo and Angangram.
