Dubai Cares is launching a Dh17 million education programme to help schoolchildren in Pakistan, it announced at the Dubai International Humanitarian Aid and Development Conference.
The three-year programme will benefit 385,800 children across the Sindh and Punjab regions, as well as two regions in Baluchistan. It aims to establish a framework for holistic experiential learning, support girls’ education and promote children’s transition from pre-primary to primary education.
Dubai Cares, a philanthropic organisation working to tackle poverty through education, will implement the programme in partnership with Idara-e-Taleem-o-Aagahi, a collaborator in Pakistan.
“Every child should have the opportunity to achieve personal, professional and social success,” said Tariq Al Gurg, chief executive of Dubai Cares. “At Dubai Cares, we believe that the journey begins with strong primary education.”
