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
Give a pack. Spark a future. Let their journey begin with you. For many children, the start of a new school year is filled with excitement — new books, sharp pencils, a fresh backpack, and dreams waiting to unfold. But for thousands of vulnerable children, especially those from low-income families, this moment is filled with anxiety and disappointment. They walk into classrooms empty-handed, often feeling left out, discouraged, and unprepared. We are launching this campaign because no child should feel excluded from education simply due to poverty. A school bag is more than just stationery — it is a symbol of hope, dignity, and opportunity. To us, this campaign is not just about distributing items. It’s about: ✅ Helping a child take their first step toward a brighter future ✅ Restoring their confidence to sit in class without shame ✅ Giving them the tools to learn, dream, and grow ✅ Showing them that someone believes in their potential When we place a school pack in a child’s hands, we are not just giving supplies — we are giving them a beginning filled with courage, joy, and possibility. That is why this campaign matters. That is what it means to us. And that is why we invite you to be part of a child’s journey from hope to achievement. Your giving is not just charity — it’s the start of someone’s story.
