Expired

As part of our informal Running Challenge, some of the runners in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and other emirates would like to donate to the cause: 'RECOVERY AND RESILIENCE IN EDUCATION IN IRAQ' as part of the 'EDUCATION IN EMERGENCIES' program.

Education (General)

AED 1,500.00

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

As for the heading, this is 'Our Story': Kudos to (in no particular order) Jati, Dzul, Febi, Ferdy, Na'el, Oksana, Louise, Hashir, Loorentz, Kristine, Catherine, and all the runners who took part in the challenge and gave it a good beating (be it by eating, sleeping, or running :P). As for me: I'm just an above average sprinter (hopefully), but a below-average Marathoner!

A big thanks to our supporters
