Sharjah Charity International is preparing to launch the "With Knowledge We Rise" campaign on Wednesday, August 18, 2026. This initiative, in collaboration with Operation Chivalrous Knight 3, will take place at the cargo village of Sharjah International Airport. The campaign's goal is to assist students in the Gaza Strip, providing them with the opportunity to pursue their education amidst difficult conditions. It highlights the UAE's commitment to education as a crucial pathway to hope and a means of shaping the future.
Mohammed Ibrahim Bin Nassar, Director of Corporate Communications and Marketing at the Sharjah Charity Association, emphasized that the campaign embodies the association's commitment to bolstering the education sector. He considers this as a vital pathway to empowering individuals and securing students' rights to education. He noted that partnering with Operation "The Noble Knight 3" showcases the synergy of Emirati humanitarian efforts and highlights the collaboration among national institutions and initiatives to aid those in need in Gaza. He underscored that the initiative delivers a message that transcends merely fulfilling educational needs; it reassures students that their academic futures are cherished and supported, and that challenging circumstances should not impede their educational progress.
He explained that the "With Knowledge We Rise" campaign aligns with the association's strategy to diversify its humanitarian efforts, expanding beyond relief aid to address sectors that have a significant impact on human life and future development, with education being a primary focus. He highlighted that aiding students in Gaza before the new academic year begins addresses a real need by alleviating the burdens on families and students and ensuring the continuation of education despite current challenges.
Bin Nassar stressed that the campaign embodies a social and humanitarian dimension, reflecting the core values of solidarity and compassion that underpin Emirati society. He encouraged philanthropists and benefactors to persist in their support for initiatives focused on students, viewing education as a way to foster hope and unlock future opportunities. He confirmed that the Sharjah Charity Association will keep collaborating with its partners to channel donations and assistance to areas of greatest need, striving for maximum impact.
