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
As an IB World School, our mission—"Education for a better world"— guides everything we do. This vision goes far beyond academic achievement; it speaks to the kind of global citizens we are nurturing—compassionate, engaged, and empowered to make a meaningful difference in their communities and beyond. Students for Students 2025 is a powerful expression of this mission in action. Through this initiative, our students are invited to take part in a community-driven effort to provide essential school supplies to students from low-income families across the UAE. This initiative is more than just a fundraising project—it is a hands-on journey into empathy, action, and impact. By participating in the packing sessions, where they will assemble school kits funded through their own efforts, our students will experience the real-world results of their collective dedication. They'll see that a simple act of kindness can spark opportunity and hope in someone else's life. Giving back is not an extracurricular activity—it's a core element of the IB learner profile. It teaches our students that service, responsibility, and solidarity are not abstract ideals, but daily practices that help build a better, more equitable future for all. Together, through Students for Students, we are not only supporting peers in need—we are shaping leaders who understand that education is both a right and a shared responsibility.
A big thanks to our supporters
