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
Stacey Lauren is the visionary founder of Do The Thing — a global movement helping people stop overthinking and start taking bold, aligned action toward the life they’re meant to live. Her journey began after years of watching talented, passionate people hold themselves back because of fear, doubt, or perfectionism. Determined to change that, Stacey created a simple yet powerful formula to help people break through resistance and finally do the thing — whether launching a business, sharing their voice, or transforming their relationships. What started as a podcast turned into a worldwide movement. Through The Do The Thing Challenge, Comfort Circles, and the Billion Dollar Impact Marketplace, Stacey brings together entrepreneurs, creators, and changemakers who are redefining what’s possible when purpose meets action. Her work is about more than motivation — it’s about movement, momentum, and creating ripple effects of impact that touch lives around the world. Today, Stacey’s mission is clear: to inspire one billion dollars in impact by helping people step into who they truly are, build businesses that give back, and create a legacy of courage, connection, and contribution.
