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
Dear Donor My name is Karin Nevelsteen, and I am currently residing in Afghanistan with my Afghan husband. I am reaching out to share a dream and a goal that is close to my heart - helping the children in this country, particularly those with autism, Down syndrome, and those who have suffered from domestic and sexual abuse. I aspire to establish a care farm where these children can receive various forms of therapy such as art therapy, horticulture therapy, AAT, CBT, play therapy, and speech therapy. Additionally, the farm will provide opportunities for these children to learn essential skills that will help them to become self-sufficient and integrated into society. I believe that with the right support, these vulnerable children can lead fulfilling lives and contribute positively to their communities. Your support could make a significant difference in the lives of these children, and I would be grateful for any assistance you could provide.
