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
Today, we live in a shared house (an inherited family property), but according to law, we have no legal right to stay there since my father passed away before my grandfather. This means that we are at risk of eviction at any moment. The situation is even more stressful because there are ongoing disputes among the heirs—some want to sell the house, while others want to divide it. To make matters worse, I study in a city far from my family, which forces me to pay high rent. This financial burden is so heavy that I often think about dropping out of school, even though I dream of completing my education and building a better future for myself and my family. This is why I started this GoFundMe campaign — to raise 700000 AED to buy a modest house for my family. This amount would finally allow us to have a safe and permanent home, end years of fear and instability, and help me focus on my studies without worrying about losing our shelter. Any contribution, no matter how small, would bring us closer to this dream and change our lives forever. If you cannot donate, simply sharing this campaign with your friends and network would mean the world to us. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for reading my story, for donating, for sharing, and for keeping us in your prayers. You are our hope after God.
