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
Every year, thousands of undergraduates in Nigeria face the heartbreak of dropping out due to financial hardship. I have seen talented students leave school simply because they couldn’t afford tuition, learning materials, or basic living needs. This inspired me to found Campus Help Charity Organization (CHCO), a nonprofit dedicated to keeping students in school and giving them a chance to succeed. Through financial support, mentorship, and skills development programs, CHCO has already helped over 4,000 students continue their education, gain confidence, and prepare for meaningful futures. Our student-centered approach ensures that beneficiaries are not just receiving aid but are empowered with knowledge, leadership skills, and hope. My work with CHCO led to my appointment as a Global Peace Ambassador, giving me the opportunity to advocate for youth empowerment and peacebuilding, while refining ways to create lasting impact for students across Nigeria. With your support, we can help more students overcome hardship, stay in school, and unlock their full potential. Together, we can transform lives and build the leaders of tomorrow.
