About the Cause
Dubai Cares’ programs are designed to reduce, if not remove, the greatest obstacles that prevent children and young people in developing countries from attaining quality education. With each intervention, Dubai Cares evaluates the need for assistance across two key areas:
Access to Education which allows Dubai Cares to improve children’s health and learning environment, increase education enrollment and attainment, increase access to education, reduce absenteeism, increase gender parity and increase promotion rates.
Quality of Education which enables early learning, enhances educational attainment and school progression, improves literacy and numeracy skills among children, enables teachers to access teacher training resulting in better learning outcomes, reduce dropout rates and increase primary school attainment.
Dubai Cares is a long-term advocate of safeguarding children and young people’s right to education and is currently playing a global advocacy role in spreading the knowledge about the importance of providing education to the unprivileged children.
We also champion education through research - There is an overwhelming lack of evidence as to what works to promote children’s learning in crisis-affected contexts. Research plays a pivotal role in tackling this issue.
My Story
What started as a shared spark between six students has now become something much bigger than we ever imagined. We are Team Airborne F1, a rookie STEM team from Dubai with one bold mission: to dream, design, and race our way to the top at the F1 in Schools UAE Nationals — and beyond. But behind every polished car and sharp logo is a group of students working late into the night, learning from scratch, asking questions, and figuring out how to make things work with what we have. We’ve learned engineering, graphic design, sponsorship, branding, sustainability, and how to pick each other up when things fall apart (which happened… a lot!). We’re not backed by a big budget or fancy equipment. We’re backed by something deeper — passion, teamwork, and the belief that students can build incredible things when given the chance.
