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
Assalamu Alaikum, My name is Tahmid Ahmed A few years ago, I made one of the most important decisions of my life — I embraced Islam, Alhamdulillah. My heart finally found peace and purpose. But this step came with painful consequences. My family and community could not accept my new faith, and I was forced to leave my home behind. Today, I live with my loving wife and our little baby boy, trying to rebuild our lives from nothing. We are currently staying in uncertain conditions, moving from place to place, with no stable shelter to call our own. As a father and husband, it breaks my heart to see my family struggle because of my choice to follow the truth. All I want is to provide them with a small, safe home — a place where my son can sleep peacefully, my wife can feel secure, and we can live with dignity as Muslims. I am humbly asking for your help to make this dream come true. Your donations will go directly toward buying a modest home and essential living needs. Even the smallest support means the world to us. May Allah reward you for every bit of kindness and generosity you show. Please keep us in your duas and share this campaign so more people can help. JazakAllahu Khairan for standing by us during this difficult journey.
