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 Cause This campaign supports the fundamental right to education for students whose academic journeys have been interrupted by severe medical crises. For many scholars, the path to a degree is not just an intellectual challenge, but a physical and financial battle for survival. The Vision We believe that no student should be forced to abandon their education due to the lingering financial weight of a life-saving treatment. When a dedicated scholar overcomes a major health emergency, the transition back to the classroom should be met with support, not insurmountable barriers. How Your Support Helps By contributing to this category, you are advocating for: * Academic Re-entry: Supporting initiatives that help students clear outstanding tuition balances incurred during medical leave. * Exam Accessibility: Ensuring that financial hurdles do not prevent resilient students from sitting for their final assessments. * Digital Literacy & Tools: Providing the essential hardware, like laptops, required for students to complete their final research and graduate. Education is the ultimate tool of recovery.
