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
In Kisesa, Mwanza, children learn in makeshift spaces without proper classrooms. Mothers caring for young children also lack a safe place to meet, learn, and receive essential support. The AICT Bujora Child and Development Center is addressing this gap by building a Survival Classroom that serves both children and mothers. The classroom will host early learning sessions for children on Sundays, helping them build strong educational foundations. During weekdays, it will support the Survival Program — a community initiative that equips mothers with parenting knowledge, health awareness, and life skills. With the support received so far, the foundation is complete and wall construction has begun. The next phase is to finish the structure, roof it, and prepare the space for learning and care. Your support will help create a safe, permanent space where children can learn with dignity and mothers can gain the skills they need to care for their families. Together, we can strengthen early childhood education and family development in Kisesa, Mwanza.
