About the Cause
Poor health and nutrition negatively affect children’s school attendance and ability to learn. We implement school feeding programs that look for alternative ways to ensure sustainable supply of nutritious foods to school children and young people in urban and marginalized areas.
In addition, contaminated water and poor sanitation are big factors that result in the death of children worldwide. In our programs, we always include what is called WASH which means Water, Sanitation & Hygiene. This is done through the design and construction of child-friendly and gender sensitive facilities for sanitation, such as latrines and hand-washing stations. We also provide clean water supply by building water wells and raise awareness about the importance of sanitation and hygiene.
My Story
Poor health and nutrition have an adverse impact on children's development and well-being which may even result in death at times, this is a grave problem which I believe needs to be tackled as soon as possible. As someone who comes from a country where poverty is still evident and people still lack sanitary facilities and healthy eatables but cannot do much due to living in another country, I hope to find a way out to help improve the living conditions of people all around the world. Under Dubai Cares, I am determined to take the lead and help those in need get empowered by making sure they get access to clean and healthy surroundings as well as nutritious food.
