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
In the spirit of the holy month of Ramadan and in commemoration of Zayed Humanitarian Day, we are delighted to announce that DESS schools will be taking part in the Dubai Cares’ "Students for Students" initiative. This meaningful programme aims to support underprivileged students across the UAE by providing them with essential school supplies. This initiative presents a wonderful opportunity for our school community to give back, fostering empathy and social responsibility among our students. The funds raised will go towards assembling school kits, which Dubai Cares will distribute to schools, ensuring that children in need receive the necessary supplies for the upcoming academic year. With your generosity and support, we are confident that we can achieve our fundraising goal of AED 85,000.
