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
Hello, I never imagined I would be in a position where I had to ask for help like this. As a parent, my biggest dream is simple—to see my children grow, learn, and have a better future than mine. My first child is about to graduate from kindergarten. It should be a moment of pride and happiness. But instead, I feel worried because I cannot afford the costs needed for the next step—elementary school. Uniforms, books, shoes, and a school bag have become things I struggle to provide. At the same time, my second child is ready to begin kindergarten, full of excitement and innocence, not knowing the financial challenges we are facing. Recently, my business suffered a serious setback. Everything I had built slowed down, and I am now starting over from minus. I am working hard to rebuild, but right now, time is not on my side—my children’s education cannot wait. It is painful as a parent to feel like you might not be able to support your children’s basic educational needs. That is why I am humbly reaching out for your help. Your donation, no matter how small, will directly help my children continue their education—giving them a chance to learn, grow, and dream without interruption. From the deepest part of my heart, thank you for your kindness and generosity. You are not just helping with school expenses—you are helping protect my children’s future. Warm regards, Ahmad Subahman
