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
In a quiet village in Uganda lives Mrs Kizito, an elderly widow whose strength carries a weight far beyond her years. She is raising her baby grandchild—a baby who was abandoned because its mother is living with a severe mental health condition and can no longer care for it. Despite her age, Mrs Kizito does everything she can to provide love, food, and safety. But the reality is heartbreaking: She lives in a collapsing house with no proper latrine, and no steady source of income. We want to change this story. We are fundraising to build Mrs Kizito a safe two-room house, construct a proper latrine, and start a small poultry project that will help her earn an income to buy food and clothes for the baby. Even the smallest donation will help give this family a dignified life and a future filled with hope. Your support can give this baby a safe home, stability and the chance to grow up in a healthy environment. Please join us in restoring hope for Mrs Kizito and her baby grandchild. Every contribution—big or small—brings us closer to giving them the secure life they deserve.
