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

I am excited to share my journey as I prepare for a significant challenge that combines my love for adventure with my passion for education. This upcoming April, 5 days, 100 km hike at the foothills of the majestic Himalayas is not just a physical pursuit for me; it is a heartfelt mission to raise funds for the "Education for All" initiative. Education has always been a cornerstone of my values. I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of learning—how it ignites hope, fosters dreams, and elevates communities. Unfortunately, there are countless individuals around the world, especially in underprivileged regions, who are denied this fundamental right. By participating in this charity hike, I aim to contribute to closing this educational gap. The decision to embark on this adventure was not made lightly. I understand the challenges that lie ahead: rigorous training, the rugged terrain, the unpredictable weather, and the physical demands of hiking daily over long distances. However, I am motivated by the knowledge that every step I take during this trek represents a step towards a brighter future for children who aspire to learn but lack access to quality education. This love for learning and belief in equality drives me to push beyond my limits. I invite you to join me on this journey, through your generous donations and by sharing my story. With your help, we can make strides toward a world where education is not a privilege, but a universal right. Thank you! :)

A big thanks to our supporters
