Smart Dubai Joins Community Development Authority’s Youth Council in Distributing Suhoor Meals to Workers in Dubai

Smart Dubai has joined the Community Development Authority’s (CDA) Youth Council in distributing Suhoor meals to workers at the Aqeel Abas Mosque in Dubai’s Al Warsan area for the second consecutive year.

The “Their Suhoor Is On Us” initiative is part of CDA’s activities to mark the Year of Zayed and celebrate the Holy Month of Ramadan, living up to the UAE leadership’s aspirations and directives to embrace charity and promote solidarity and cohesion among members of society.

The Smart Dubai delegation included Her Excellency Dr Aisha Bint Butti Bin Bishr, Director General of the Smart Dubai Office (SDO); H.E. Younus Al Nasser, SDO Assistant Director General and CEO of the Dubai Data Establishment; and H.E. Wesam Lootah, CEO at the Smart Dubai Government Establishment (SDG).

“Smart Dubai’s participation in this initiative for the second consecutive year is part of our policy to promote generosity and solidarity among all members of society, as well as to encourage volunteer work in the UAE,” H.E. Dr Aisha said.

“We are proud to be taking part in the Suhoor initiative, which has succeeded in spreading joy among the workers,” Dr Aisha added. “This strengthens social bonds, embeds happiness and positivity as values in the city of Dubai, and truly embodies the spirit of the Holy Month.”

Meanwhile, H.E. Ahmed Julfar, Director General of CDA, praised the great support provided by Smart Dubai to the CDA Youth Council’s initiative “Their Suhoor On Us”, noting that the first edition of the initiative last Ramadan was supported directly by Dr Aisha Bin Bishr, which had a positive impact in urging the youth to develop the second edition and to provide it in an expanded and more organised way.

“The support provided by government agencies for youth initiatives is an incentive for them to come up with creative ideas that stem from the immediate needs of the community and meet their aspirations. ‘Their Suhoor On Us’ initiative was supported by various government agencies and private-sector organisations, led by Smart Dubai, which is the Diamond sponsor for this year. Smart Dubai also contributed significantly to the promotion of the initiative through its social media and website, in addition to the participation of Smart Dubai employees as volunteers in the initiative, distributing Suhoor meals to the beneficiaries,” H.E. concluded.

Smart Dubai joins the CDA Youth Council’s initiative as a diamond sponsor. The programme’s various activities include free medical check-ups, supervised by the Dubai Health Authority’s (DHA) Youth Council.
