The Dubai Cares has announced a new programme in Gaza, Palestine, where 2,750 Palestinian refugee children will be given their right to an education.
Supporting two schools with more than Dh11.4 million ($3.1m) over the next two years, the programme is part of the 'Rebuild Palestine, Start with Education' initiative which started in 2014.
It has been launched in partnership with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).
The financial commitment by Dubai Cares aims to ensure the ongoing education of 2,570 children by providing the necessary supplies of learning materials, as well as sustaining the capacity of approximately 90 teaching staff and assistants at the Zaitoun Elementary Co-ed 'C' school and the Beit Hanoun Prep Girls 'B' school.
Commenting on the new programme, Tariq Al Gurg, Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Cares, said the ongoing blockade and violence continues to take a "terrible toll on the people of Gaza".
"The majority of the population in Gaza is totally dependent on humanitarian aid, leaving a devastating impact on children, many of whom have now lived through three major conflicts."
He said Dubai Cares believes that it should do all it can to minimise disruption in the lives of these youths.
