As COVID-19 pandemic continues, world faces ever increasingly challenges in different sectors; surge in unemployment, rising poverty and etc.. More than 71 million people encounter extreme poverty in 2020 led to a serious risk for equitable quality education. Hence, two critical sustainable development goals (SDGs) adopted by all United Nation Member States in 2015, poverty cut and education quality, seem out of reach.
However, there is always a way. During the COVID-19 crisis, the world educational centers make most of technological devices including tablet, smart phones, and laptops to offer their academic materials. Online learning eliminates distances and of course, offers lifelong learning opportunities for those who can afford these devices and infrastructure. To provide equitable education for all, especially during the crisis, and fulfil its mission, the “Abrar Charity” aims at controlling the COVID-19 influences on education sector. Therefore, Abrar establishes a campaign, called “One Thousand Wishes”, to call individuals for participation in buying Tablets.
The Iranian National Committee of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), in line with the social responsibility goals of each institution, calls enthusiasts and the business communities to participate and assist in the campaign.
