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
The "Great Readers Show" is a unique quiz competition designed for secondary and non-secondary school students in Nigeria and Africa as a whole. It deviates from traditional quiz competitions by opening its doors to individual students, allowing them to participate without representing any school. One of its distinctive features is the selection of quiz topics from a wide array of subjects taught in secondary schools and relevant books. Prior to application, the chosen topic and book are announced to enable participants to prepare adequately. The competition, offered on a weekly basis, offers cash prizes, and the application is entirely free. The "Great Readers Show" is an innovative educational initiative aimed at resuscitating the reading culture among students in Nigeria and Africa. This competition seeks to motivate and inspire students to engage in reading, thereby enriching their knowledge and cognitive abilities. Unlike conventional quiz competitions, this event removes the need for participants to represent schools, emphasizing individual effort and knowledge. Any secondary or non-secondary school student in Nigeria and Africa is eligible to participate in the "Great Readers Show." This competition stands out by allowing students to enter individually, independently of any school affiliation. It is registered with the Nigerian Copyright Commission
