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
I was born in Bahrain and raised in the UAE, where I’ve grown up with a deep appreciation for the values of hard work and compassion. My mother, who raised me on her own, has been my rock and my greatest inspiration. Watching her navigate life’s challenges with grace and determination instilled in me a strong desire to make a difference in the world. From a young age, I knew I wanted to become a doctor. The idea of being able to help others, to ease their suffering, and to contribute to their well-being has always felt like my true calling. This passion drove me to work hard in school, with the dream of one day studying medicine and making a real impact in the lives of others. Now, I have the chance to pursue an MD degree in Georgia, which is an incredible opportunity that brings me one step closer to realizing my dream. However, the financial strain of medical school is daunting, especially given that my mother has already given so much to ensure I had the best start in life. As we face the high costs of education, I’m reaching out for support to make this dream a reality. Your contribution, no matter the amount, will play a crucial role in helping me achieve my goal. It’s not just about funding my education; it’s about investing in a future where I can dedicate my life to helping others through medicine. I’m deeply grateful for any support you can provide, and I promise to carry forward the kindness and generosity I’ve been shown into my future work as a doctor.
