Dubai Cares

Presenting Partner

Over 5,000 residents from across the UAE participated in the ‘Water Bucket Walk’ organized by Dubai Cares to support children with limited access to clean drinking water in schools around the world and address one of the main issues preventing children’s access to primary education.

Held on Friday, 20th November 2009 which marked the 20th anniversary of the United Nations’ Universal Children’s Day, the 3-km ‘Water Bucket Walk’ along Jumeirah Beach Road received an overwhelming response from various members of the UAE community including women and children of all ages. For a minimal registration fee of AED 30 each participant received a Dubai Cares t-shirt, bucket and a bottle of water, with all proceeds directed towards providing children in developing countries with access to clean water.

 The Dubai Cares ‘Water Bucket Walk’ was also strongly supported by the Presenting Partner  Dubai Electricity & Water Authority (DEWA), our organizing partners Dubai Municipality, Dubai Police and RTA, and the sponsors; PepsiCo and The First Group, ensuring the success of the event and creating a memorable experience for all.
