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

“There are many problems, but I think there is a solution to all these problems, it’s just one and it’s education”— Malala Yousafzai. But what if access to education becomes a problem?

In PwC we are guided by our purpose, to build trust in society and solve important problems. The new generation is our future. We believe it is within our power, as well as responsibility, to create a world in which they have access to quality education.

Therefore we partnered with Dubai Cares to support the Education program in the Middle East. To raise awareness about the cause, our PwC Jordan and UAE team members will undertake the challenge of cycling 260 km across 2 days, from the Dead Sea to the Red Sea in Jordan in June 2023, celebrating World Bicycle Day through the same ride.

We welcome you to support the team and the cause by contributing to the program. Our target is $20,000 which will go towards Transforming Education across the Middle East.

There is no "small" amount, every contribution matters.
