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
When a child is equipped with the right tools: shoes that protect their feet and bags that carry their hopes, they walk taller, feel included, and become more motivated to learn. Something as simple as a new pair of shoes and a school bag can: Inspire a sense of pride and belonging; Improve school performance by reducing absenteeism; Spark hope in families and communities, showing them they are seen, valued, and supported. The Impact of Your Generosity: Your contribution will do more than just provide material goods, it will transform futures. Every child reached through this campaign is a seed of possibility. The goal is to restore dignity and confidence in learners; enhance school attendance and participation by removing barriers related to lack of appropriate attire; encourage a culture of education in communities where school dropout rates are high due to poverty-related challenges; and to promote health and safety, as walking barefoot can lead to infections, injuries, and long-term foot damage. Let’s walk this journey together—one pair of shoes at a time.
