Jeweller Bulgari is supporting our Rewrite the Future global campaign in 2009.

As part of the celebrations taking place in 2009 to mark the 125th anniversary of its foundation, Bulgari has created a commemorative Limited edition silver ring supporting Rewrite the Future — Save the Children’s global campaign. The ring, pictured, pays tribute to the silversmith origins of Sotirio Bulgari on the exterior and Save the Children’s logo engraved on the interior.

Bulgari has committed to raising €10 million by the end of 2009 from worldwide ring sales. In the UK, each ring will cost £200 and Bulgari is donating £40 from the sale of each ring. €1 million has already been donated to Save the Children and the remaining figure will be raised during 2009 through Bulgari stores and selected Bulgari authorised dealers, including Harrods.

The ring will be on sale exclusively at Harrods from the 2nd January. Harrods have also joined forces with Bulgari by donating £10.00 from the sale of each ring to Rewrite the Future. You can purchase the ring exclusively from Harrods until 31st January, and Harrods will continue to sell the ring in their Fine Jewellery Room throughout 2009.

Rewrite the Future

Today, 37 million children around the world are missing out on education due to armed conflict and violence. When war is over, schools are often destroyed and teachers killed so there is no longer a school for children to attend. Where schools do exist, resources are scarce, classes are overcrowded and teachers are untrained.

Two years ago Save the Children launched its global campaign Rewrite the Future which is focused on securing quality education for the millions of children out of school due to conflict and violence. Rewrite the Future pledges to:

• Ensure that 3 million out-of-school children gain access to good-quality education in conflict-affected countries by 2010.
• Improve the quality of existing education programmes for a further 5 million children.

Since 2006, Save the Children has rebuilt schools, supplied school materials and protected children from abuse and exploitation, paving the way for a durable change in the lives of almost 6 million children.

Charlotte Petri Gornitzka, Secretary General of the International Save the Children Alliance commented: “We are very pleased to announce this global partnership with Bulgari. Their commitment and support for education is one of the most valuable ways to make a difference to children’s lives in war afflicted countries.”
