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
The sponsorship of our first school with Dubai Cares Adopt A School programme has been a great success and we hope to take a group of students, when the time is right to see our first school in Katuta, Malawi. We understand that we are very fortunate to have access to good quality education and we believe that every child should have this opportunity too. Students at CIS are now taking part in the Dubai Cares Philanthropic Awards programme to further support the achievement of United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 4: Quality Education around the world. Students of Years 12 and 13 are also linking this to the GSL competition. Our aim is to offer education to the poorest and most remote communities who would not have had access to this facility otherwise. Our campaign, “Building a Better Tomorrow”, is determined to achieve this. By donating as low as AED 10/- you will be supporting in educating a child for a day. Your donated amount will go towards supporting children and young people in developing countries with access to quality education.
