Edukans

The Edukans Foundation, the Netherlands, can briefly be characterised as follows:

• EF supports educational projects in favour of underprivileged children and youngsters in developing countries.
• EF involves children and youngsters in the Netherlands in education in developing countries and in development co-operation.
• EF aims to realize this objective by fundraising, publicity and all other legal means instrumental in it. 

EF´s project funding focuses on projects in the field of education, generally speaking: on accessibility, quality and relevance of basic education. Target groups are underprivileged children and youngsters who - for various reasons - lack the knowledge and life skills to come out of the vicious cycle of poverty and underdevelopment. Every child has the right to education, but worldwide approximately 130 million children are not going to school. Underprivileged children and youngsters include: handicapped children, refugee children, orphans, working children, street children.
