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
WSO PK is running Non-Formal Schools for poor and street children in district Muzaffargarh. South Punjab observes very hot summer season. Classroom temperature rises up to 50-54c (Celsius). It is internationally proven that high temperature of class room badly affect the learning of students. Heat waves of hotter season in Muzaffargarh make the students sick where absenteeism is common due to bad health. School air conditioning will positively penetrate the adverse effect of hot temperatures significantly. So we are struggling to mobilize resources for installation of air coolers in classrooms of basic non-formal schools. This campaign will facilitate to achieve this goal. We will be able to deliver quality education to poor and street children. WSO PK will install air cooler in classrooms through using renewable energy solar panels in our non-formal schools.
