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 Samvel Nazaryan, a Senior Product Designer living in Dubai, and more importantly, a father to a bright and kind-hearted 3-year-old girl named Mia. Recently, Mia has been asking me almost every day why her friends are going to nursery while she is not. It’s a question I haven’t had the courage to answer, because the truth is—our family is currently struggling financially. As a parent, there’s nothing more painful than watching your child feel left out, especially when all you want is to give them the opportunity to grow, learn, and be happy. I’m reaching out with humility to ask if there are any programs, scholarships, or support opportunities available that could help Mia attend nursery. I am also offering my full support in return—whether it’s designing digital solutions, branding, or offering professional services in any way I can, free of charge. Thank you for taking the time to read my message. I’m simply trying to give my daughter the childhood she deserves, and any form of guidance or support would mean the world to us. Warm regards, Samvel
