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
Every child deserves the chance to grow, learn, and thrive — yet many children in UAE schools and learning centers do not get the nutrition they need. Studies show that a large number of children in the UAE are not meeting dietary recommendations for essential nutrients like vitamin D, calcium, iron, and fiber — crucial for healthy growth and brain development. Poor nutrition affects concentration, energy, immunity, and academic performance. Many children may have enough calories but still suffer from “hidden hunger,” lacking the vital nutrients for healthy development. At Snackly.ae, we are partnering with Dubai Cares to address this issue. Through this campaign, we will provide healthy, nutrient-rich snack packs to children across all Emirates, reaching schools, day schools, and learning centers. These snacks are carefully designed to fill nutrient gaps, improve focus, and support stronger, healthier bodies. This cause is personal to me because I believe no child should fall behind due to lack of proper nutrition. With your support, we can ensure that children not only stay energized and attentive in class but also enjoy a healthier, brighter future. Your donation means more than food — it means health, energy, learning, and hope. Join us in transforming simple snacks into tools of empowerment for every child in the UAE.
