Our initiative supports students who lack access to basic school supplies and necessities as well as the internet, and electronic devices, making it difficult for them to improve their education.

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

We began a vision to assist girls and boys from poor rural households at risk of dropping out in a small, poor barangay in Santa Ignacia, Tarlac when we witnessed their hardships. Due to lockdown and restrictions, this rural community suffered the most when COVID-19 struck. Because the residents are primarily farmers and low-wage workers, the parents of the children we care for are financially incapable of sending them to school.
