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
My name is Shakil Hossen and I come from Bangladesh. I am a bachelor’s degree student, working hard to build a better future through education. I live with my family of six members. My father is unable to work, and we depend on very limited resources to manage our daily needs. Growing up in a poor family has taught me the value of every small opportunity. Education is my only hope to change my life and to support my family in the future. However, continuing my studies has become a real struggle. I need financial help to cover my tuition fees, buy the required books, and purchase a laptop that will allow me to complete assignments, attend online classes, and learn more effectively. Without these basic tools, it is very difficult to keep up with my studies. I believe that education can change my life, and with your kindness and support, I can continue my journey. Your contribution—no matter how small—will not only help me study but also bring hope to my family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read my story and for any support you can give.
