In line with Aldar's commitment to create societal value, the partnership will bring Dubai Cares' "Back to School" edition of "Volunteer Emirates" to Abu Dhabi for the first time. Established in 2009, the initiative has enjoyed success in the UAE and is a staple community engagement initiative by Dubai Cares, part of Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives.
Faisal Falaknaz, Aldar's Group Chief Financial and Sustainability Officer, commented: "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."
Abdulla Ahmed Alshehhi, Chief Operating Officer at Dubai Cares, stated: "Providing less privileged students with essential school kits not only enhances their learning experience but also alleviates the financial burden on their families."
