Through this Program our ambition is to harness the potential of disadvantaged young people around the world by enabling equitable access to quality education so they can help build more inclusive, thriving societies.
The BHP Foundation partners with NGOs and institutions to enable equality of opportunity so more people can realise the power of education to improve life choices, fulfil their potential and contribute to society.
The BHP Foundation seeks to enable equality of opportunity and improve outcomes for young people. This means more children can participate in education in the first place; are enabled to stay and thrive in school longer to gain a higher level of qualifications and skills; and can succeed and prosper throughout their lives. By giving more young people the opportunity to learn and acquire a high standard of skills, we can help them to prosper individually while empowering them to address some of the pressing global societal challenges we face today and in the future.
