Today, more than 75 million children around the world out of school due to emergencies. And during the 72nd United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York this week, Dubai Cares reiterated its priority in helping elevate education opportunities for children in crisis-affected countries.
During a presentation on the sidelines of the assembly, Dubai Cares renewed its commitment to the Education in Emergencies programme. It also announced that it will be committing Dh1.84 million ($500,000) to ensure coordinated and sustained emergency response to the current influx of Muslim Rohingya refugees who have been displaced by the ongoing violence in Rakhine state in Myanmar. This was relayed during the 'Education Cannot Wait's' High Level Steering Group Meeting.
