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
The workload of the Koda Public School located in the Tetritskaro Municipality has increased significantly since the Russian-Georgian warfare in 2008. As a result, IDPs from the South Ossetia were resettled in the Koda village, Tetritskaro Municipality. The location of Koda Public School, the number of students and teachers, also their motivation creates the perspective of implementing important projects in collaboration with other schools. The 108.24 sq.m. assembly hall in the school is an excellent place for formal or non-formal activities, and club work. As a result of the project implementation, teachers, students, and parents (all in all, 600 people) will be able to hold school and extracurricular competitions and events in the assembly hall, thus promote the realization of students' skills. However, this space is not equipped with the appropriate infrastructure and technical facilities due to the lack of school funding. Key Facts: Project Author - Koda School; Project budget - 11,000.00 AED (3000 USD) / beneficiary contribution - 1,100.00 AED (300 USD) Number of employees - 3 (full time)(1 woman, 2 men)
