The Future Builders Fund by Salams Foundation
Sponsoring Education to Transform Lives and Build Brighter Futures.
"When a person dies, all their deeds end except three: ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for them."
Hadith
Imagine a child’s yearning for knowledge, a girl’s dream of becoming a teacher, a young mind eager to unlock the world through books. For millions of children globally, this dream remains tragically out of reach. They are trapped by poverty, conflict, and societal barriers, denied the most fundamental tool for a better life: education.
Educate & Elevate: The Future Builders Fund, a transformative initiative of Salams Foundation, is breaking down these barriers. We believe that every child, especially vulnerable girls and boys, deserves the chance to learn, grow, and build a life of dignity. We don’t just send children to school; we empower them with knowledge, skills, and the confidence to become the architects of their own destinies and leaders of their communities.
Your sponsorship is an investment in a child's mind, a family's hope, and a community's future.
The Unseen Classrooms: Why Your Sponsorship is Critically Needed Right Now.
The global education crisis is vast, leaving hundreds of millions of children behind and perpetuating cycles of poverty and inequality. The consequences are far-reaching, impacting health, economic stability, and fundamental human rights.
Look into these stark and heartbreaking truths from 2024:
A Staggering Number Out of School
Globally, approximately 250 to 272 million children and youth were still out of school in 2024, a number that has tragically stagnated or even risen in recent years despite overall enrollment gains. This means millions are missing out on the foundational learning critical for their development.
Education Disrupted by Crisis
In 2024, at least 242 million students in 85 countries had their schooling disrupted by extreme climate events (like heatwaves, floods, and storms), exacerbating an already dire learning crisis.
Girls Face Unique Barriers
- Financial Strain: Poverty forces families to choose between food and school fees, with girls often being the first to be kept home for chores or early marriage. In 2024, in some of the most challenging regions, countries spent on average four times more on debt servicing than on education, directly impacting resources for girls’ schooling.
- Safety & Dignity: Long, unsafe commutes to school, gender-based violence, and lack of access to proper menstrual hygiene facilities (as discussed in “Empower Her”) continue to keep girls out of classrooms.
Child Labor’s Heavy Hand
An estimated 138 million children were engaged in child labor globally in 2024, with 54 million in hazardous work. These children are often forced to choose work over school, trapping families in inter-generational cycles of poverty. Investment in free, quality education is a critical solution to child labor.
Every child denied an education is a future dimmed, a potential lost. Your immediate action can change this narrative.
