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
Once upon a time in the internal displacement camps of Ouagadougou, a group of children with hopeful eyes carried heavy hearts filled with uncertainty. Each day, they wake up to a world where the echoes of war linger, and their dreams of a better future seem to fade away. Among them is Amina, an 8-year-old girl who dreams of becoming a doctor to help the sick. But without access to education and nutrition, her dreams are at risk. She often shares her one daily meal with her little brother, trying to keep him healthy while she struggles with hunger herself. This is where our campaign, "Celebrating Hope: Feeding and Educating Children in Distress," comes into play. We have the chance to change the trajectory of these children's lives. With your help, we can provide nutritious meals and fund their education. Imagine the smile on Amina's face as she receives her first school book, or when she enjoys a warm meal after a day of learning. Every donation, no matter how small, contributes to building a brighter future for these children. Together, let's ensure that Amina and so many others can dream, grow, and one day achieve their aspirations. Join us in this beautiful journey, and let’s celebrate hope together!
