We are two school girls, 7600 kilometers apart, dedicated to bridging that gap with art. Creating things by hand that can then be handed out to the donors of our cause as a thank you. 100% of our proceeds go to the education of children in circumstances far unlike our own as we believe education is a right for all.

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

Realizing that everything we made could be used for good instead of simply sitting and collecting dust on our shelves was a revelation, and we have decided to use our creations as incentives for donation. Hand crafted items of infinite descriptions made with considerable care including but not limited too: Leather keychains, Felt charms and linoleum prints. All available upon donating to our cause. The cause in question is education. Both of us come from a private school background with the shared belief that we all have a duty to do whatever we can for those who cant. "The world is cruel, therefore I wont be."

A big thanks to our supporters
