OUR FUTURE, EDUCATION
CASE STUDY: THE MAIDEN FACTOR
DP World has partnered with the Maiden Factor, a UK-based project and charity that aims to raise awareness of the millions of girls worldwide who are currently not able to access education, to fundraise and support community programmes that enable girls into education. The Maiden Factor has launched its three-year World Tour. Led by an all-female crew, they will visit numerous global destinations and host events for girls and the communities with a focus on STEM, helping to change the narrative of what a girl can achieve for better futures for all. The ‘Patron of Hope’ for the Maiden Voyage is Her Highness Sheikha Latifa bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairperson of Dubai Culture and Arts Authority (Dubai Culture), member of the Dubai Council.
Throughout the tour the Maiden Factor will be visiting various DP World ports, and connecting with our Sustainability Champions to engage local communities. This is one of our largest community partnerships to date and links across all three pillars of the Sustainability and Impact strategy: Oceans, Education and Women.
