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
Hello everyone, my name is Naz Karadede and I am a 22-year-old graduate and resident of Dubai. I grew up in Dubai but I moved away at the age of 18 to study university in the UK. I worked hard and graduated with a good grade in 2024, and was lucky enough to be admitted into the Master's programme that I wanted at a prestigious university in the UK. A couple of months into my Master's programme, I made the very difficult decision to take a break from my Master's and return the next academic year. This was an extremely difficult decision for me to make and I was heartbroken, but deep down I knew this was a decision I needed to make. I'm extremely grateful to be able to take this break from education, when millions of children across the world are being deprived of an education due to conflict, poverty, caring responsibilities, poor health, environmental disasters, and a variety of other factors. So, I have vowed not to waste this valuable opportunity given to me. I would like to keep educating and developing myself, whilst also doing something I've always wanted to do: to help those in need. I decided to create this fundraiser to do both, and with your help, I hope to achieve my goals. For every 100 dhs raised for Dubai Cares' Education campaign, I will read one book. My goal is to raise 5000 dhs for Dubai Cares' Education campaign, so by the time the fundraiser ends, I will have hopefully read 50 new books and expanded my knowledge on a range of new topics.
