Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, Ruler of Dubai His Highness
Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum attended today a special ceremony
organized by Dubai Cares 10th anniversary.
The event took place today at Armani Hotel, in the presence Crown Prince of
Dubai His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, and

UAE-based global philanthropic organization’s 10th anniversary and extend
its gratitude to the UAE community for its generous support over the past
decade.
Dubai Cares, part of Mohammed bin Rashed Al Maktoum Global Initiatives,
extended its gratitude to the UAE community for its generous support over
the past decade.
Dubai Cares also took advantage of this gathering of dignitaries, donors,
partners and supporters to outline its achievements over the past decade,
honor key donors and supporters who have been continuously supporting Dubai
Cares over the years, as well as outline the future plans of the
philanthropic organization to address needs and challenges in developing
countries across the entire education spectrum.
While its emphasis during its first 10 years has been on supporting primary
school-age children, as a key component of the UN Millennium Development
Goals (MDGs), the organization will now extend its reach to address the
systemic factors and causes behind the large number of out-of-school
children and youth globally.
As part of its future plans, Dubai Cares will increase its focus on funding
interventions in areas where governments are unable to provide services,
such as Education in Emergencies programs, aimed at supporting the most
vulnerable children and young people.
Dubai Cares will also increase funding for research-oriented programs, and
establish pilot initiatives that provide meaningful and valuable evidence
for governments, policymakers, and civil society, to support them in
defining an educational framework for the future.

Maktoum, Chairman of Dubai Civil Aviation Authority and Chief Executive of
Emirates Group, Chairman of Dubai Media Incorporated in Dubai Sheikh Hasher
