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 Yemen’s Dar Saad District, childhood dreams are being silenced—not by choice, but by the absence of hearing aids, eyeglasses, and support. Over 200 children with disabilities are trapped in silence and darkness, unable to learn, connect, or simply be children. Many have dropped out of school. Others sit in classrooms unable to hear the teacher or see the blackboard. Isolated, excluded, and often bullied, their world grows smaller every day. At Social Researcher Foundation for Development (SRFD), we believe no child should be forgotten. That’s why we’re launching this campaign to raise $20,000 to provide assistive devices that will change lives—giving these children the tools to hear, see, and succeed. We will also train parents and teachers, promote inclusive education, and restore hope to children who’ve known only rejection. Your donation isn’t just money—it’s a path to dignity, equality, and joy. It's a pair of glasses that helps a child read their first story. A hearing aid that lets them hear a classmate’s laughter. A chance to dream again. Together, let’s break the silence and blur. Let’s open doors to education and a future every child deserves.
