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
My name is Balebi Shukuru Alexis I live in Africa in Democratic Republic of Congo country/north kivu province/goma town. I have bachelor's degree in Administration and Planification of education from University Baptist of Congo, I have a TEFL ( Teaching English as Foreign Language) certificate from Professional Development Institute. I am a founder of a smaller private school of vulnerable, displaced, disabled and marginalized children, the school is registered by the registration number: N°01/197/CAB/GP-NK/2014 and Tax number: A1520609T. The school has the objective to provide the best qualities of education to all the vulnerable, displaced, disabled and marginalized children who can not afford to access to the best qualities of, fight against literacy so that all the children may know how to read and write properly without any challenges. The school has challenges about infrastructure because it is built in woods, I don't have enough school supplies such as: Books,copy books...for these children. Moreover, the school has lack of desks where these children can sit meanwhile studying in the classrooms.
