Dubai Customs continues to make a significant impact this Ramadan with its ongoing "Sawa’ed Al-Furdah" initiative, which aims to distribute 30,000 iftar meals to road users and drivers.
This charitable endeavor takes place every Saturday near the Etihad Museum, where 7,500 meals are distributed just before the Maghrib prayer. The initiative brings together Dubai Customs' executive directors, consultants, department heads, employees, volunteers, and representatives from diplomatic missions in Dubai.
Launched nine years ago, "Sawa’ed Al-Furdah" serves as one of the key community-driven projects by Dubai Customs, implemented by the Ghayath Volunteer Team. The initiative seeks to promote the values of charity, solidarity, and the UAE’s position as a leader in global humanitarian efforts.
Mansoor Al-Malik, Executive Director for Policies and Legislation Division at Dubai Customs, highlighted that the organization is committed to expanding and enhancing its charitable activities, ensuring they align with the real needs of the community. By targeting various locations and reaching diverse groups, these initiatives contribute to the UAE's sustainable development goals and align with Dubai’s Social Agenda 33.
Al-Malik also acknowledged the vital role of the Etihad Museum (Dubai Culture and Arts Authority) in supporting the success of the initiative, as well as the diplomatic missions in Dubai for their participation. The collaboration among stakeholders strengthens the spirit of unity and cooperation among the diverse communities in the UAE, enhancing the overall impact of the initiative.
