GEMS Education has committed $30 million USD to Dubai Cares, the UAE-based philanthropic organization working to improve access to quality primary education for children in developing countries.
 
“We are extremely grateful to Sunny Varkey for supporting Dubai Cares and pledging AED100 million over 10 years as part of his commitment to making a difference in the lives of children in developing countries.

This generous donation will support Dubai Cares in realizing the vision of H.H. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum of providing children an opportunity to improve their own lives, break free from the cycle of poverty and become positive contributors to their communities and nations.”
