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 am Isha Nair a student at Dubai College, and I've always been captivated by the power of words and the beauty of poetry. Yet, beyond the verses and stanzas, I've come to understand a profound truth: education is the key to unlocking potential, especially for young girls in underprivileged communities. Inspired by this understanding, I felt compelled to act. Combining my passion for poetry with a desire to make a difference, I conceived the "BAG A POEM" campaign in collaboration with Dubai Cares. This initiative aims to raise awareness and funds to support girls' education globally. For every donation made, I will create a personalized cloth tote bag, each adorned with an original poem penned by me for the donor. These poems celebrate the resilience, dreams, and potential of young girls striving for a brighter future. The tote serves as a symbol—a reminder of the transformative power of education and the collective effort required to make it accessible to all. Through "BAG A POEM," I hope to share my gratitude with donors and spread awareness of this vital cause. It's a small step, but I believe that with collective effort, we can unlock the boundless potential of entire communities and shape a brighter, more equitable future for all.
A big thanks to our supporters
