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
Hodeidah Fly Institute for Training and Consultant is a lifeline for hundreds of vulnerable Yemenis, offering free and low-cost education to orphans, people with disabilities, and widows—groups that have been hardest hit by Yemen’s ongoing crisis. Located in Hodeidah, Yemen (Shamsan Street), our institute provides critical vocational training, language courses, and professional skills to help marginalized communities rebuild their lives. Due to Yemen’s economic collapse and prolonged conflict, our institute is now at risk of permanent closure. Rising operational costs, unpaid teacher salaries, and damaged equipment have pushed us to the brink. Without immediate funding: - 500+ students per year** will lose access to education. - Orphans, widows, and people with disabilities will be left without skills to escape poverty. - Entire families will lose a vital source of hope and opportunity. What We Offer for them: Our courses empower students with employable skills, including: - Languages (English & Arabic) courses - Computer Science & IT classes - Tailoring & Fashion Design workshops. - Beauty & Makeup Artistry classes - Nursing & Healthcare courses - Mobile Phone Repair course - Business & Administrative Skills courses
