In a heartfelt initiative aimed at empowering students in need, the Big Heart Foundation has launched its annual campaign titled “Back to School.” This initiative aligns with the Foundation’s commitment to ensuring education is accessible to all, especially for those from low-income families residing in the Sharjah area. The campaign focuses on providing essential school supplies to students registered with the Big Heart Educational Center, setting the stage for a successful academic year.
Enhancing Educational Opportunities
Confirming its dedication to supporting the education of the underprivileged, the Big Heart Foundation aims to remove barriers to learning through its “Back to School” initiative. This campaign will significantly benefit students who attend the Big Heart Educational Center, established in 2019 to serve children and youth facing educational challenges due to poverty and displacement. Students from various nationalities, including Syria, Comoros, and Pakistan, will directly benefit from the essential supplies provided by this initiative.
Community Involvement
The Big Heart Foundation is inviting community members to engage in a hands-on experience by participating in activities scheduled from August 21 to August 31 at City Centre Al Zahia in Sharjah. Interested individuals can visit the Foundation’s interactive platform on the third floor, beside Home Centre, where they can purchase and fill school supply boxes intended for students in need. This initiative offers the community a tangible opportunity to contribute to a noble cause and make a real difference in the lives of local students.
Opportunity for Impact
Contributions to the “Back to School” campaign can vary, with a minimum donation of 200 AED providing a single student with essential school supplies, including a backpack, stationery, and more. Additional options allow donors to support a student for a month at 500 AED, for a full year at 7,000 AED, or sponsor an entire classroom of 15 students for 105,000 AED. Each contribution directly enhances the educational experience of students and enables them to pursue their studies effectively.
Corporate Responsibility
The Big Heart Foundation also emphasizes corporate social responsibility, encouraging businesses to support the campaign through flexible partnership options. Companies can contribute by integrating support for the campaign within their own social responsibility initiatives. Donation packages range from 10,000 AED, covering supplies for 15 students and one year of tuition for one student, to 50,000 AED, providing supplies for 75 students along with tuition for five students. Customized packages are also available to suit donor preferences.
Vision for a Better Future
Aliyah Obaid Al Misabih, Director of the Big Heart Foundation, expressed, “We believe in the power of collective action. With community support for the ‘Back to School’ campaign, we will create a real and sustainable positive impact in students’ lives. Together, we will empower young minds at our educational center, dismantling the barriers in their path and providing them with the necessary tools to realize their dreams.”
Firm in the belief that learning is a fundamental right, the Big Heart Foundation continues its efforts to eliminate obstacles for students seeking education. The “Back to School” campaign directly addresses the practical educational needs of children and youth, and the Foundation invites individuals, communities, and businesses to join in providing essential support, ensuring students are prepared for their academic year.
