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
For a lot of people, these symptoms are recognizable, you feel down. Depressive periods are normal, particularly when a person faces tough personal issues, unemployment or relationship problems. However, if the depression continues for several weeks it may be a sign of a more prolonged and serious illness. With an estimate of 4% experiencing severe unemployment in a given year, understanding depression, what it is, who it affects and where you can find help is increasingly important. Equipped with a better understanding of depression, you may be able to better support someone in your life facing depression. The word “depression” is often used to describe a lot of different feelings. People feel sad or blue when bad things happen. But everyday “blues” or sadness is not a depressive disorder. While we all may experience some symptoms of depression in the short-term, a major depressive disorder lasts for at least two weeks and affects a person’s mental ability to work, carry out usual daily activities and have satisfying personal relationships. Not all depressive episodes or negative feelings are a mental disorder. It is normal for our emotions to fluctuate and to experience short-term periods of sadness from time to time. Depression, on the other hand, can be more difficult to overcome. It also has nothing to do with personal weakness or defects. It is a serious mental illness.
