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
My name is Mohamed, I came from an underprivileged community. I was able to teach myself digital skills that enabled me later to advance my knowledge and career and eventually improve my life for myself and my family. Today I am trying to do the same for the other youth like myself, who are struggling with teaching themselves, specially non-English speaker, in order to put them on the first step of unlocking their future. It was estimated in 2016 that the world's digital economy is growing at 10% per year. In fact the impact of digital technology, has been referred to as the Third Industrial Revolution. Hence I am putting all my efforts to teach Basic Digital Skills to those who can benefit from it, using my 15 years of experience working with digital tool, and well organized curriculums by the likes of Google and Meta.
