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
I am setting up this campaign because I have witnessed how thousands of widowed and underprivileged women in rural India struggle every day for dignity, education, and livelihood. At the same time, millions of coconuts are discarded as waste, harming both the environment and local economies. Through Purenariyals, I want to transform this problem into an opportunity — turning coconut waste into eco-friendly products while training and employing women who need a second chance at life. For me, this is not just a project; it is a mission of hope, empowerment, and sustainability. Every coconut shell we reuse represents a woman gaining confidence, a child continuing education, and a community moving toward self-reliance. This campaign means giving voice and value to those who are often forgotten, and building a sustainable future one coconut at a time.
