Stora Enso supports UNICEF to promote basic education for all children
Stora Enso is UNICEF’s global corporate partner in basic education to benefit the most disadvantaged children around the world. The partnership was formed in April 2004 and provides a unique opportunity for everyone associated with Stora Enso to contribute in their own way to help UNICEF achieve its aim of education for all. The partnership is based on the shared belief of both organizations in the importance of quality education to personal development and to peace and prosperity. The better quality of life, that education brings, translates into huge benefits for society. That's why education is essential to the development of every country.
- One in three children in developing countries does not complete five years of primary education
- Over 75 million primary-school-age children are not in school, more than half of them girls
- Every year of schooling increases individual wages for both women and men by a worldwide average of 10%
- In country after country, education yields spectacular social benefits for the current generation and those to come
