noon.com, the region’s homegrown digital marketplace and Saudi e-tailer, is proud to partner with Dubai Cares, part of Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives, on an initiative to provide quality education to children and communities. Noon shoppers across the UAE can donate to the cause at checkout, directly impacting the lives of vulnerable communities and positively supporting the future of underprivileged children.

Dubai Cares is working towards providing children and youth in developing countries with equitable access to quality education and learning opportunities through supporting impactful and sustainable programs. Since its inception in 2007, the UAE-based global philanthropic organization has successfully launched education programs reaching over 20 million beneficiaries in 60 developing countries.

Noon’s partnership with Dubai Cares will run throughout the month of August as part of its huge Back to School campaign. Customers who would like to contribute to the initiative can easily do so by selecting the Dubai Cares donation option at the final step of their checkout process on noon’s platform. Taking seconds to complete, the donation process allows the customer to donate between 5 AED and 100 AED to the cause.
