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
This boy is hopeful and positive even when bedridden with disease and sepsis in hospital. During patient care I noted that smiling face has lots of hidden troubles. It is obvious that he is an intelligent boy. but he and his siblings have not been to school for 4 years now due to families financial condition. Unless something is done now I fear he will end up a manual laborer. I wish this patient will live on to have a bright future and a useful citizen. I encourage you all to help this family to have education for at least for one of the 4 siblings.
