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 Evren Ozka. About a 2 years ago I decided to change my lifestyle and be a better role model for my 2 sons. At the time I was overweight and addicted to food, nicotine and alcohol.  I set myself the task of running 100 miles with no previous running experience or training, to prove to myself and others that anything is possible and that there is no limit to what the human mind can achieve.  I completed the race and since then have been challenging myself regularly to try and push my limits and boundaries. Not just in physical feats but if life also.  I moved to Dubai last year and want to take on this exciting challenge to raise money and awareness for those in need.
