In light of the success of the first cycle, Tasjeel, an ENOC and Roads Transport Authority (RTA) joint venture for speedy and hassle-free vehicle testing and registration services, has launched its annual 'Dirham wa'Bas,' a charitable initiative aimed at raising funds for people in need this Ramadan.

Under 'Dirham wa'Bas,' Tasjeel will donate one dirham from every car registration fee towards the local charity organisation Beit Al Khair Society, which provides financial support to orphans and underprivileged people in the UAE. The initiative follows the success of last year's campaign which raised AED 100,000.

Ayas Bin Hendi, General Manager of ENOC Tasjeel, said that the 'Dirham wa'Bas,' initiative complements the various efforts undertaken by the ENOC Group in Ramadan to support and assist the underprivileged in the UAE. "ENOC Tasjeel is committed to supporting disadvantaged people by working closely with local and international charity organisations."

"Last year's campaign brought hope to many orphans and people in need. This year we aim to raise further funds to support more individuals and make a bigger difference," he added.

In a bid to offer motorists more convenience and flexibility during the Holy Month of Ramadan, Tasjeel has adjusted its working hours at all service centres except for the JAFZA, Hatta, and Khorfakkan sites, which will be operational everyday from 8am to 2pm. The remaining centres are now open from 8am to 3pm and from 9pm until midnight, Saturday to Thursday.
