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
Although I do not have autism myself, I have always been deeply passionate about helping others and making a positive impact in the world. When I first learned about the challenges that individuals with autism face on a daily basis, I was determined to find a way to help. As someone who loves video games, I began to research the potential of gaming as a tool to help individuals with autism improve their cognitive and social skills. I was excited by the idea of creating a game that could be fun and engaging and make a real difference in people's lives. Through my research, I connected with a team of developers who shared my vision, and together we began work on a video game designed specifically for individuals with autism. We poured our hearts and souls into the project, conducting extensive research and working closely with autism experts to ensure the game would be as effective as possible. With the "Unlocking Potential" fundraising campaign, we are closer than ever to bringing our vision to life. With your support, we can make a real difference in the lives of countless individuals with autism, empowering them to unlock their full potential and live their best lives.
