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
In January 2020, CR Hope Foundation opened the school ‘Seeds of Light’ and welcomed the first batch of students. Today, the school has opened its doors to first-grade primary students as well and supports the education of 72 children in total. “The idea first came after my first visit to Zanzibar, where I was moved by the plight of the children after taking a tour of the local community outside a village," called Kizimkazi. The children of this small community did not have access to schools or educational facilities and I immediately saw an opportunity where I could make a lasting impact on their future beyond simply making dollar contributions. At this moment we intend to expand our facilities to improve the children's quality of life, classes, and nutrition. For that the value we ask will go towards: - Construction of a small canteen for breakfast and lunch. - Painting and fitting for the new classroom: - Breakfast supplies for 1 year to feed 105 students. - Sponsor a teacher for 1 one Year. - Buy a school bus.
