Follow KT on WhatsApp Channels. This year's shortlisted UAE students are making waves — from advancing menstrual equity and mental health to breaking barriers in STEM and public speaking. Each finalist brings a powerful story of innovation, leadership, and social impact. Championing menstrual equity through innovation Arjun Kaur Mittal is a 17-year-old Tanzanian student and founder of Her Needs, a non-profit that has distributed more than 22,000 reusable sanitary pads to girls in 43 schools and trained more than 50 mother-entrepreneurs in Arusha. Her mission: ensure that menstrual health is seen as a right, not a privilege. Motivated by years of personal experience navigating inaccessible healthcare, Arjun transformed hardship into innovation. She designed reusable period underwear made from traditional kangas and recycled textile waste, now being produced through a school-based enterprise. She raised $85,000, partnered with NGOs, and was invited to speak in Tanzanian Parliament, where she advocated for tax-free menstrual products. She is also a national-level triathlete, literacy activist, and student researcher. Her work has impacted more than 22,000 students, connected Tanzanian and UAE schools, and launched multilingual health, hygiene, and sports programmes in collaboration with global partners. If awarded the Global Student Prize, Arjun plans to scale Her Needs nationally, fund mobile clinics, and sponsor scholarships for rural girls. Breaking barriers in STEM and mental health Dalia Zidan is a Palestinian first-generation student and aspiring electrical engineer breaking barriers in STEM. She developed an AI-powered web app supporting the mental health of first-gen students, winning Empower Hacks out of more than 300 participants. She is also Executive Director of the International Youth Science Journal, impacting over 72,000 global readers with accessible science content and leading operations across more than 12 countries. As founder of AMTech, her school's first tech club, Dalia created custom AP/SAT resources, coding guides, and a platform to support underserved students. The club has earned over $9,000 (Dh 33,000) in STEM competition prizes and partnered with the UAE government to host Dubai AI Week, engaging kids and teachers in tech education. Her children's book, Catching Infinity, introduces Maths to young readers and was recognised by RISE and Run The Future as a global innovation finalist. Academically, she is on track to be valedictorian, having completed the most advanced Maths track in school history. If awarded the Global Student Prize, Dalia will fund tech kits for students, run international STEM contests, and continue making STEM inclusive for all. Championing equal access to education worldwide Wiktoria Blazik is a globally recognised youth leader, researcher, and advocate for accessible education and debate. A Rise Global Winner and captain of the UAE National Debate Team, she has represented her country in global championships, winning top prizes in competitions like Paris WSDC and the World Scholar's Cup. Passionate about empowering others, Wiktoria founded a Girls' Public Speaking Club and developed an app, website, and lesson plans to help young people overcome anxiety and build confidence — resources now used by students in 50+ countries. Her blog on study strategies and mental health has attracted over 12,000 visitors, while her Instagram platform reaches more than 130,000 users monthly. Wiktoria also conducts academic research, having earned top scholarships from Pioneer Academics and Stanford's SHTEM programme, where she explored climate economics and EEGs in healthcare. Named a Platinum Jubilee Scholar and incoming Oxford PPE student, she plans to use the Global Student Prize to expand free debate education in underserved public schools. Her goal is to democratise access to critical thinking and public speaking — skills that empower civic leadership and upward mobility. Nathan Schultz, President and CEO of Chegg, Inc., said, 'I want to extend a huge congratulations to Arjun, Dalia, and Wiktoria. At Chegg, we're proud to support and celebrate the changemakers who aren't just imagining a better world – they're building it. From environmental and social justice to education, health, and youth empowerment, this year's Global Student Prize finalists are tackling the world's most pressing challenges with courage and innovation.' Sunny Varkey, Founder of the Varkey Foundation, said, ' Congratulations, Arjun, Dalia, and Wiktoria. Your stories are a powerful reminder that education is a catalyst for solving global challenges. At a time when the world is changing rapidly, investing in education has never been more vital. It's how we prepare the next generation to lead with purpose, think boldly, and shape a better future.' The award Applications and nominations for this year's Global Student Prize opened on Wednesday, February 19, and closed on Sunday, April 27. Students are being assessed on their academic achievement, impact on their peers, how they make a difference in their communities and beyond, overcome odds to achieve, demonstrate creativity and innovation, and operate as global citizens. The prize is open to all students who are at least 16 years old and enrolled in an academic institution or skills programme. Part-time students as well as students enrolled in online courses are also eligible for the prize. The top 10 finalists of the Global Student Prize are expected to be announced in August this year. The winner, expected to be announced later in the year, will be chosen from the top 10 finalists by the Global Student Prize Academy, made up of prominent individuals.

UK-headquartered Addleshaw Goddard advises on $190mln investment in Egypt's Alameda
Cairo – International law firm Addleshaw Goddard, which is headquartered in London, has advised Egyptian private group Alameda Healthcare on its $190 million minority investment agreement with London-based private equity firm Development Partners International (DPI) and its co-investors. The transaction is structured primarily as a capital increase and is expected to close in the third quarter (Q3) of 2025, subject to customary regulatory approvals, according to a press release. The proceeds from the investment will be used to scale Alameda's hospital and outpatient network while investing in cutting-edge clinical technologies. In addition, the funding will be used to expand the healthcare group's centers of excellence in specialized medical fields such as cardiology, oncology, and liver disease. The proceeds will also support talent development initiatives aimed at retaining and upskilling Egyptian medical professionals and reversing brain drain from the sector. Meanwhile, the transaction further reinforces Addleshaw Goddard's position throughout the Middle East and Africa. The deal marks the largest private equity investment of its kind in Egypt's healthcare sector to date and represents a major milestone for both Alameda and DPI. It is worth mentioning that EFG Hermes acted as the sole M&A financial advisor on the signing of binding agreements for Alameda's deal with DPI. The transaction also enables Alameda to accelerate its strategic expansion across Egypt and into Gulf markets, further advancing its ambition to position Egypt as a regional hub for world-class healthcare. Partner and Head of Investment Management and Funds at Addleshaw Goddard MENA, Philip Dowsett, said: 'DPI's investment reflects growing global confidence in Egypt's healthcare infrastructure and Alameda's leadership position within it.' Dowsett noted: 'This deal also demonstrates our ability to advise on transformative cross-border investments that deliver regional impact.' Earlier in 2025, the healthcare entity teamed up with Talaat Moustafa Group Holding Company (TMG Holding) through a strategic partnership to develop premium-quality medical and healthcare services for an EGP 5 billion hospital in Madinaty.

RTA to Complete Traffic Improvements at Dubai Healthcare City Exit to Sheikh Zayed Road by 20th July
As part of its ongoing efforts to enhance traffic flow and improve the efficiency of Dubai's road network, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is finalising a series of traffic enhancements at Dubai Healthcare City exit (Street 13), with completion scheduled for 20th July 2025. The project involves converting the current stop-controlled exit into a free-flow movement by adding a new acceleration lane leading to the intersection of Oud Metha and Sheikh Rashid Road. Additionally, the service road exit will be widened from one lane to two over a 500-metre stretch, accommodating vehicles inbound from Al Riyadh Street and heading towards the intersection of Oud Metha and Sheikh Rashid Roads. These improvements form part of RTA's continuous efforts to implement traffic management solutions that increase network capacity, improve flow efficiency, and enhance road safety, in line with Dubai's vision of becoming a smart, sustainable, and seamlessly connected city. The enhancements are particularly crucial in high-traffic corridors such as Dubai Healthcare City and Oud Metha, two of Dubai's key urban zones that accommodate a diverse mix of medical facilities, hospitals, educational institutions, residential neighbourhoods, and business establishments. The upgraded traffic solution at Dubai Healthcare City exit to Sheikh Zayed Road will double capacity to 3,000 vehicles per hour, improving flow in this vital corridor. The enhancements are expected to reduce congestion and average waiting times by up to 50%, delivering a smoother driving experience and facilitating faster exit from the area, particularly during peak periods. RTA had previously carried out additional improvements in the same area, including upgrades to the entry and exit points between Umm Hurair and Oud Metha, where deceleration and acceleration lanes were added to streamline vehicle movement in both directions. Furthermore, RTA expanded the service road exit onto Umm Hurair Road from two lanes to three towards the roundabout, increasing traffic capacity by 50% and reducing congestion by over 40% during peak periods.
