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
Respected Foundation, My name is Syed Aamir, I am pursuing my BEng Hons Mechanical Engineering at the University of Bolton-Ras Al Khaimah, My dad’s financial condition has been critical and as a result, he has not been able to support my studies for a while now. And the COVID-19 Pandemic has made things even worse, now my university has suspended my education, Therefore, I will not be allowed to continue my studies for my final year, I’ve faced a lot of hardships and challenges to reach this point, right after my 10th I enrolled into a foundation year and studied for 2 years but I lost the credits due to a similar financial crisis, I really don’t want to drop out in my final year. I have worked extremely hard to get this far. Unfortunately, I have serious medical conditions, I had weak lungs which resulted in asthma and the medication side effects resulted in a chronic skin reaction eczema while my corneas as well were damaged which caused “keratoconus”. The reason I am disclosing all this is to ensure you that no matter the circumstances or how hard the fight, I want to fight through it all and achieve my goals. I have not been able to clear the fees, and I really want a chance to finish my degree so I can graduate and help my family. It took a lot of willpower, spiritual power, blessings, prayers, constant hard work, and a lot of effort to get myself this far. I will do anything required to prove myself worthy and competent of your aid.
