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
Imagine a young child, no more than 7 years old, tears streaming down their face because they're forced to miss school due to unpaid fees. This heartbreaking scene is a harsh reality for many children, highlighting the struggles within our education system. The challenges facing education include: - Inadequate funding, leading to a lack of basic resources and infrastructure - Poor infrastructure, resulting in dilapidated buildings, overcrowded classrooms, and inadequate facilities - Unaffordable fees, preventing many children from accessing quality education - Teacher shortages and quality issues, partly due to poor working conditions and low pay - An outdated curriculum that lacks relevance to modern industry needs Our fundraiser aims to address these pressing issues by: - Providing financial assistance to cover school fees for children who can't afford them - Improving infrastructure by renovating and improving facilities - Supplying educational resources, including textbooks and other essential materials By supporting this fundraiser, you'll be contributing to: - Breaking the cycle of poverty by providing access to education and unlocking opportunities - Empowering future generations to become productive members of society and drive positive change - Creating a lasting impact on the lives of these children, their families, and the community as a whole Every contribution, big or small, counts.
