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
My name is Madhav Agarwal, a student at GEMS Wellington International School. I am 15 years old and I believe that education is the right of every child on this planet. However, many underprivileged students in the UAE still face barriers to quality learning due to high student to teacher ratios in many schools. This drives my passion to make a difference and fuels my ambition to improve countless lives through my future profession. I am raising AED 1,000 through Dubai Cares to provide essential resources and opportunities for these students. To make this personal, I will walk 8 km without stopping for every AED 200 donated, turning each contribution into a tangible challenge and a step toward resilience. Your support is not just a donation; it is a direct investment in the future. A statistic based on a comprehensive analysis conducted by the World Bank, which examined global data to assess the economic returns of education. The study found that, on average, individuals experience a 10% increase in their annual earnings for each additional year of schooling completed. This finding underscores the profound impact education can have on an individual's economic prospects and, by extension, on the broader economy. Join me in making education not just a privilege, but a right. Together, we can transform lives, one step at a time.
