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
Join us in making every step, stroke, and pedal count. Miles for Miracles is a fundraising campaign dedicated to raising awareness and support for children and families affected by Angelman Syndrome, a rare neuro-genetic disorder that impacts speech, balance, and motor skills, and causes severe developmental delays. On the vibrant stage of the Dubai Triathlon, I will be racing not just for personal achievement, but for a purpose far greater. Every mile I complete will be a tribute to the strength, courage, and resilience of individuals living with Angelman Syndrome and their families, who face daily challenges with unwavering determination. Angelman Syndrome affects approximately 1 in 15,000 people, yet remains largely unknown to the public. By participating in this triathlon and launching Miles for Miracles, I hope to spark conversations, raise visibility, and most importantly, contribute to funding essential research, therapies, and family support initiatives that can transform lives. Your contribution, whether large or small, helps build a future of possibilities for those living with Angelman Syndrome. Every donation goes directly toward recognised foundations and organisations that are leading the way in treatment development and family assistance. This is not just a race. It’s a mission. Together, we can go the distance for a cause that matters. Support the campaign. Share the story. And let’s turn Miles into Miracles.
