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
The orphan to me is someone whose mother and father are dead. My story starts way back in 2017 when a young mother died while giving birth, her husband had also died a year before. I PICKED UP the child, took good care of her and she grew up, at 8 years, I enrolled her in school. In the following year, I noticed that people started bringing children found in same circumstances, in 2019, the number had reached 70 children. Due to COVID 19, in 2019 and 2020, I was financially crippled because all the people who were supporting us stopped, My poultry business collapsed, I could only feed them but I hardly can afford to take care of their school needs since then up to now. In 2022, I sold part of my land and restocked chicken in poultry farm. Ever since, I have been struggling financially, that is the reason I need your help and support with finances and any in kind items to help this children realize their full potential completing their education. At the moment, I have 28 children in primary level, 46 in secondary level, 2 in University, 6 in tertiary/vocational training school, in total of 82 children in school, and 15 children are toddlers. I truly need your kind help and support please. Allah will surely bless you for all your prayers, finances, and any other support.
