Corporate Social Responsibility

Mr. Sunny Varkey

We have always believed, and continue to believe that education is the only real long term measure that can effectively combat poverty and we are delighted to have the opportunity to contribute.

Across the GEMS network of schools, fully 2,800 students currently receive free and/or subsidized schooling annually.  In addition to these scholarships, the Sheikha Fatima Award for Excellence provides a full scholarship to outstanding students every year.

Parent associations and student councils also contribute to community outreach programmes both locally and globally.
