Aldar Properties plans on contributing Dh1 million to a new partnership with Dubai Cares providing 10,000 children from low-income families across the UAE with school kits ahead of the new academic year. Volunteers, are expected to assemble essential school kits to be distributed to these students before the start of the new school term; taking place on August 23, 2024.
The partnership with Dubai Cares brings the “Back to School” edition of “Volunteer Emirates” to Abu Dhabi for the first time. Established in 2009, this initiative has been successful in the UAE and is a key community engagement effort by Dubai Cares, which is a part of Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives.
Faisal Falaknaz, Aldar’s Group Chief Financial and Sustainability Officer, said, “Every child deserves access to quality education, along with the tools they need to learn and develop. As a community-focused developer, and owner-operator of schools, we are dedicated to breaking down barriers to education, particularly for underprivileged children, and are proud to support Dubai Cares in its ‘Back to School’ initiative for 2024.”
By providing less privileged students with essential school kits, their learning would be enhanced and reduces the financial burden on their families, while bringing smiles across children’s faces amidst the financial constraints.
