Creating a Culture of Global Consciousness
At Innoventures Education, our most important role is to inspire children to develop global values and empathic life skills to become responsible learners. In the year 2014, to mark the tenth anniversary of the founding of Innoventures Education, the Gift of Innoventures Education (GIVE) initiative was launched. This consolidated philanthropic initiative is committed to provide ongoing support to causes identified by our students. The students of Innoventures Education have decided that GIVE should focus on providing access to clean drinking water and education in the less developed parts of the world.
GIVE empowers the youth of today to be impactful leaders of tomorrow. By enabling essential education, we facilitate children - regardless of their gender, nationality, race or religion to become positive contributors to society.
GIVE has successfully sponsored NINE schools in partnership with Dubai Cares:
Four schools in Nepal
Three schools in Malawi
Two schools in Senegal
Some of our students and accompanying teachers from across our schools visited Nepal several times to physically begin construction and lay the foundations of our first school and also to complete the finishing touches. They were supported by BuildOn, an American philanthropic organisation that has successfully constructed schools in developing world regions for the last 25 years. Whilst there, our students and teachers lived with the communities they were helping and had the opportunity to experience the harsh living conditions and economic hardships of the villagers.
In addition to this transformational school-building programme, GIVE has also contributed to the following causes:
- Give has responded to emergency crises by contributing to local and international communities during the global pandemic, flood relief in India, earthquake relief in Nepal, Turkey, Syria and relief to Palestinians affected by the war in the Gaza strip.
- In 2023-2024, GIVE supported Dubai Cares’ Students for Students Initiative. Students, staff and parents came together to pack 1000 school stationery kits for students from low-income families in the UAE.
- Through the Water For Life initiative, founded by one of our exceptional alumni whilst a student at DIA Emirates Hills, we have provided access to clean drinking water in less developed parts of the world.
- In partnership with Dubai Cares, GIVE has sponsored a library in India to champion and support literacy in underprivileged regions.
To date, GIVE has successfully raised over AED 3 million – 50% from the contributions made by our Innoventures Education schools and nurseries, and 50% match-funded by contributions from our Board of Directors.
We wish to thank all our parents and students for their generous contributions towards GIVE to make a difference in the lives of many children across the world. Through education, we give children - regardless of their gender, nationality, race or religion - the opportunity to become positive contributors to society.
We look forward to your continued support in the coming academic year to enhance this philanthropic project of Innoventures Education.
Together we can make a humanitarian difference!
