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
I’m reaching out as a mother with a heavy heart. My husband has always worked tirelessly to support our family, his ill mother, and brother. Recently, a financial crisis hit us after he guaranteed a friend’s investment that failed. Our accounts were blocked for two months, leaving us unable to access funds and cover essential expenses—including our children’s school fees. Our oldest son is in his final year of IG secondary school. He has only two exams left to complete his final year, yet without the remaining fees, he won’t be allowed to sit for them. Watching him risk losing years of hard work is devastating. Our younger three children also need their school fees covered to continue their education. We never imagined asking for help, but today we have no choice. Every parent dreams of seeing their children succeed, and right now, their future depends on the kindness of others. Your donation, no matter how small, will go directly to our children’s school fees, giving them the chance to finish the year and continue learning. Please help us ensure their hard work and dreams are not lost.
