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
Raising awareness about breast cancer within our community is vital because it empowers individuals with knowledge, encourages early detection, and fosters a sense of collective responsibility. Breast cancer remains one of the most common cancers affecting women worldwide, and yet, with early diagnosis and proper treatment, survival rates are significantly higher. By promoting awareness, we break down the barriers of fear, stigma, and misinformation that often prevent people from seeking help or attending regular screenings. Community awareness campaigns create a supportive culture where conversations about health and wellbeing are normalised. When schools, families, and local organisations come together to highlight the importance of self-examinations, routine check-ups, and understanding the signs and symptoms, we move closer to saving lives through prevention and early intervention. Awareness also extends beyond health — it nurtures empathy, solidarity, and collective action. Bringing awareness to breast cancer reminds us that compassion and education are powerful tools for change. Fundraisers, assemblies, and awareness events not only raise money for vital research and support services but also unite people in a shared mission to care for one another. They provide comfort and hope to those currently battling cancer, celebrate survivors, and honour those we have lost. In our community, awareness is more than a campaign — it is a movement built on kindness, understanding
