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
Our organisation serves hundreds of people in Nepal each year and is shaped by the personal stories of each and every individual. APEIRON recognises that a gender-equal society does not yet exist in Nepal. Across the country, women and girls continue to experience gender-based violence and disparities in domestic workload, family expectation, political participation, mobility, rights awareness, literacy and citizenship acquisition. APEIRON envisions a better future for the women and children of Nepal and strives to improve the condition and status of these marginalised groups. Beyond our commitment to gender-based violence, we design and implement a variety of education, awareness and capacity-building programs for at-risk demographics including GBV survivors, orphaned children, school-aged students, adolescents and women living in rural areas of the country. At the heart of our organisation is success stories of GBV survivor reintegration and financial independence as well as the creation of inclusive school environments, equal education opportunities, gender-inclusivity and learning achievements for students. These stories are the inspiration for our ongoing work with vulnerable communities across Nepal.
