Every child deserves the chance to learn and play.

To help change this, Global Citizen and FIFA launched the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, with a goal of raising $100 million to support reading and football programs in over 200 countries.

This year, we’re calling on Fortune 500 companies to help raise $30 million by September, enough to support 30,000 children with access to books, classrooms, and sport.

Half the fund will support FIFA’s Football for Schools program with UNESCO, which brings football into classrooms — especially in underserved communities. The other half will fund global education programs that help children gain the skills they need for a better future.
