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
Since childhood, I have harbored a deep-seated aspiration to become a doctor, and I have consistently strived to turn this dream into reality. However, a significant challenge arose in my life, causing my dream to seem increasingly distant and arduous. Two months ago, I received acceptance as an international student at Wenzhou Medical University in China, where I was admitted into the MBBS program. Following this pivotal step, I have dedicated myself to achieving a scholarship, although the university's policy dictates that scholarships are awarded starting from the second year based on academic performance. Therefore, it falls upon me to secure the scholarship in my second year. However, for the first year, I am required to pay the full tuition fees amounting to $5,500. Unfortunately, this financial burden has posed a significant obstacle to my aspirations, as I am unable to proceed with my dream without meeting this cost. Failure to pay the fees by the 30th of July will result in the cancellation of my admission letter, halting my progress towards becoming a doctor
