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 journey as a triathlete has always been about more than racing. Endurance has taught me patience, humility, and responsibility — lessons that stay with you long after the finish line. In 2026, I will be racing three long-distance triathlons across the season: The Championship Šamorín, Challenge Roth, and IRONMAN Oman. Together, they form one continuous journey of effort, discipline, and reflection. Alongside this journey, I want to raise support for vulnerable families and children in Maiduguri, Nigeria ( my hometown) — a place close to my heart. I recently visited the area and witnessed firsthand both the hardship people face and the quiet dignity with which they endure it. What struck me most was not the lack of resources, but the strength of community and the willingness to help one another. My family is actively involved on the ground, providing weekly support to those in need. This gives me confidence that help can reach people directly, respectfully, and transparently. All funds raised will be transferred monthly to support essentials such as food, medicine, and basic care, with clear accountability at every step. This is not a corporate campaign. It is a personal commitment to turn endurance into impact — to ensure that every kilometer raced contributes to something meaningful beyond sport.
