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
Our football Academy is looking out for outrageous talents in slums and municipal school children who cannot afford expensive training institutes. Paragahadeniya Soccer Academy is the only Football Academy to become a club in Sri Lankan Football history. These children are not only trained in football but are overall polished to come out with their talent. Their personality is worked upon, and at the same time, proper coaching is also given in every aspect. Our academy is doing quite well in bringing to light new talents, but at the same time, we do lack in funds for overall training of such talented boys and girls. We all are trying to raise some funds to encourage these talents and to provide efficient training to our children. We have got granted a playground location by Urban Council (Pradehashya Sahba) Mawathagama. As our academy conducts totally free we are looking for funds to cover the ground to put back to playing condition. Please make it a point to support us on this good course. And you all can contact us if you have further details.
