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
Dear Kind Donors, My name is Ali Abba, and I am a second-year medical student from Nigeria. My journey to becoming a doctor has been tough, but I have always held on to my dream with hope and determination. Recently, my mother, who has always been my biggest supporter, faced a heartbreaking setback in her business. This has left us in a difficult financial situation, and I fear it may stop me from completing my medical education. Before I started medical school, I learned how to cut hair, hoping to use that skill to help pay for my expenses. But the demands of my studies have made it impossible for me to work on the side. Now, I find myself at a critical point in my life. My future is uncertain, and I desperately need your help to continue my education and fulfill my dream of becoming a doctor. Every little bit you can give will make a huge difference in my life. Your support will help lift the heavy financial burden off my shoulders, allowing me to focus on my studies and my goal of serving others as a physician. I am determined to rise above these challenges and turn this setback into a stepping stone for a brighter future. With your kindness, I can keep moving forward and one day help others who face similar struggles. Your generosity will not only support my education but also inspire hope in many others. Together, we can create a lasting impact on my life.
