This supportive initiative focuses on ensuring resident students from low-income families attending 'The Big Heart Educational Center' in Sharjah are fully equipped and empowered to embrace the new academic year brimming with potential.

For a hands-on community experience, the public are also invited to the “Back-to-School” packing event at City Centre Al Zahia on August 21 running till August 31. Visitors can purchase a box and personally fill it with essential school supplies, directly connecting with the cause.

THE BIG HEART EDUCATIONAL CENTER: At the core of the campaign lies a commitment to offer a nurturing and empowering learning environment at 'The Big Heart Educational Center'; established in 2019.

This unique institution serves as a haven for underprivileged children and youth, primarily addressing illiteracy and lack of educational access stemming from poverty and displacement within the region and beyond. This includes students from diverse backgrounds such as Syria, Comoros Islands, Pakistan, and other nationalities who face barriers to formal education and future employment.
