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 Avnish Kumar, and I am a 32-year-old finance professional from India, currently working with Kiruba Contracting LLC in Dubai. While pursuing my graduation, my mother was diagnosed with cancer. Due to her treatment expenses and our family's financial difficulties, I was unable to complete my studies. After a long struggle, my mother passed away, leaving our family with significant debt. As a result, I had to prioritize supporting my family over continuing my education. I often think that if circumstances had been different, I might have completed my degree and advanced to positions such as Finance Manager or CFO. However, these experiences taught me an important lesson: education should not be limited by financial circumstances. Today, my goal is not only to build a successful career and studio but also to create opportunities for others. I strongly believe that education is a fundamental right, and no talented student should be forced to abandon their dreams because of a lack of money. Whatever I earn from my studio, I intend to dedicate a significant portion toward supporting quality education for students who cannot afford it. By helping others continue their studies, I hope to honor my mother's memory and contribute to a future where financial hardship does not prevent anyone from learning and growing.
