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
Many people all over the world cannot afford to support their right of education. With this fundraiser, I hope that I and many others can help these people in need. Education is more than classrooms and textbooks; it is the strongest tool we have to break cycles of poverty and unlock human potential. In many developing countries, millions of children are eager to learn but are blocked by school fees, lack of materials, unsafe buildings, or the need to work to survive. When we fund education, we fund opportunity: healthier families, stronger economies, and more stable communities. Educated girls marry later and earn more; educated boys are less likely to be drawn into conflict; educated societies innovate, vote, and build peace. Every dollar invested multiplies across generations, turning curiosity into skills and hope into action. Your contribution can put books in hands, teachers in classrooms, and futures back within reach. Together, we can replace barriers with bridges and give children the chance not just to dream, but to achieve now and today, and for generations to come through your generous support.
A big thanks to our supporters
