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
In 2013, Aadarana Trust was founded in Hyderabad, India, with the mission to support underprivileged children. Among the first children to benefit from the trust's care was Kiran, a young orphan who had lost both his parents. Kiran's life changed dramatically when he was welcomed into the safe and nurturing environment of Aadarana Trust. The trust provided him with food, shelter, education, healthcare, and clothing, ensuring all his basic needs were met. Kiran flourished under their care, receiving not only academic education but also life skills training, vocational guidance, and medical care. Over the years, Kiran developed into a confident and self-sufficient young man. He thrived academically and personally, embodying the values of hope, dignity, justice, and peace that Aadarana Trust instilled in him. The trust's support helped Kiran overcome his challenging circumstances and build a brighter future for himself.
