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
Football club “Young Star Boys” is one of the projects of the international charitable foundation "Mila4Africa". Located in Senegal, Dakar city, Avakam district. The project was founded in September 2020. All project participants are children either orphans or from families coming from extreme poverty. The goal is to give these talented children the opportunity to grow up and fulfil themselves in world sports and therefore be a support later on for their families. “Young Star Boys” is the ONLY club in Senegal that gives these children the opportunity to excel in sports FOR FREE! Today «Young Star Boys» is the most successful junior club in Dakar! The boys are always striving to be the best and reach the world sports level! Mila4Africa Foundation has rented and equipped a dedicated center for the club, where 130 boys train. 25 of them are orphans and live permanently in there. In addition to sports careers and achievements, the foundation aim to help these children get one of their basic rights: Education. Studying and attending school will enable them to have the fighting chance to provide for themselves and their families in adulthood. They are appealing to your generosity and compassion to give a glimmer of hope to those who need it to the most. Join this noble cause and support these future champions!
