Dubai Cares:

What is the Dubai Cares campaign?

"Dubai Cares" is a charitable campaign, lead by H.H. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum that serves to focus the multicultural community of Dubai on raising money to support a global cause.

What are the main goals of Dubai Cares?

The two main goals of the campaign are: To bring the multicultural community of Dubai together during the traditional time of giving – the Holy Month of Ramadan – and to focus their collective attention on raising funds for a global cause. This year, Children’s Primary Education globally. To proactively address Dubai’s role as a Global Citizen by delivering unrealized opportunities to the children in our beneficiary countries through providing them access to Children’s Primary Education.

Who are the beneficiaries of the campaign?

We are currently targeting the following regions to receive funds collected from the campaign. They include the Middle East, Africa and Asia.

Do you need volunteers for the campaign?

This year’s campaign was put together in 12 weeks which made it difficult to focus on securing and training volunteers to help us. However, we will definitely need volunteers for next year’s campaign. Once the campaign is complete we will add a section for volunteer registration.

We will fund the value chain of education including:
