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 Moazzma Amin, and I come from a small rural village in Kasur, Pakistan. Life here is simple but filled with struggles — especially for girls. Opportunities are rare, and most young women are expected to marry early, not pursue higher education. I have always dreamt of breaking this cycle. Growing up, I saw women suffer silently because they didn’t know their rights. I wanted to be the one who could stand up for them. After years of hard work and studying under difficult circumstances, I earned my Associate degree in Mass Communication through a side hustle which was a part time remote job. Now, I have been accepted into the prestigious LUMS Law program — a dream that could change not only my life but also the lives of many women in my community. But the challenge is huge: the cost is 10,000 AED far beyond my family’s income of less than PKR 40,000 per month. If I lose this chance, it might never come again. Your contribution can help me become the first lawyer in my family and village, a voice for the voiceless, and an inspiration for other girls who dream beyond the boundaries set for them. Education is not just for me — it’s for the future of countless women who deserve justice. Help me to achieve my dream.
