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
Hello, my name is Martin and I'm a 5-year-old boy living in Dubai. This year, I have a special wish for my birthday. Instead of toys, I'd love for us to help other kids my age learn and go to school. That's why I set up this fundraising campaign with Dubai Cares, and it helps kids have books, teachers, and fun learning like we do. It's a super cool way to make more kids happy - and that's the best birthday gift ever! Thank you so much for your contribution! Love, Martin Bonaccorsi
