THROUGH EDUCATION.

EDUCATION IS THE KEY TO UNLOCKING GIRLS’ POTENTIAL,
OPENING THE DOOR TO A BETTER FUTURE

In 2019, we entered a three-year partnership
with UNICEF working to address
the global education gender gap
with a specific focus
on STEM (Science, Technology,
Engineering and Mathematics).
In 2023, to further our long-term commitment
to girls' education, we renewed
this impactful partnership
and set the goal of benefiting 5.7 million
more girls around the world by 2025.

In 2023 alone, our partnership
with UNICEF has reached more than
3 million girls globally, working to close
the STEM education gender gap
and achieve
UN Sustainable Development Goals
#4 (Quality Education)
and #5 (Gender Equality).

To fund this ongoing partnership work,
we have pledged a combined
total of US$17.4 million,
the world's largest private sector contribution,
to UNICEF’s Gender Equality Program.
