Education (General)

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

In honour of Michel Chalhoub’s extraordinary life and inspiring career, the Chalhoub family is opening this medium for memorial donations in lieu of flowers. Contributions will go towards educational support which helps provide the less privileged with the skills and opportunities they need to be self-sufficient and successful. Michel Chalhoub, founder, and chairman of the Chalhoub Group passed away on July 30th, 2021 at the age of 89. He was an exceptional visionary, a pioneer, a passionate entrepreneur, and an inspirational leader, who devoted his life to create an impact and make a change. The Chalhoub Group is a long-term advocate of education and strongly believes in its power to unlock potentials and ensure a better world for the current and coming generations. Thank you for joining us on this journey.
