UAE Ministry of Finance launches key community initiatives during Ramadan 2024

Generosity is in the heart of Emirati society. During the holy month of Ramadan, the UAE Ministry of Finance has launched a series of crucial community initiatives to bolster its commitment to empower people in need and improve their quality of life.

The UAE has established itself as a global destination for humanitarian work through its initiatives spanning multiple continents. Be it the recent earthquakes in Turkey or the ongoing Gaza crisis, the Gulf nation has not left any stone unturned in helping the needy.

“The UAE has been committed to charitable work and harnessing all possible efforts to make it a culture and a way of life within the country and around the world,” said Younis Haji Al Khoori, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Finance.

He added: “The Ramadan corporate social responsibility programme embodies the deep-rooted values of giving in the UAE and reflects the continuous commitment of the Ministry of Finance to instil a culture of charitable work,” reported the Emirates News Agency.

He added: “It is evident that the UAE Ministry of Finance prioritises charitable and humanitarian work, whether in the holy month of Ramadan or throughout the year, and spares no effort to support all segments of society.”

Commemorating Zayed Humanitarian Day – observed on the 19th of Ramadan – the Ministry helped organise a series of initiatives, including the ‘Iftar Sa’em’ initiative aimed at distributing Iftar meals to 1,000 people fasting.

Furthermore, the Ministry has organised the crucial ‘Ramadan Mir’ initiative, in an effort to stimulate sustainable giving values among all community groups and reflects the Ministry’s commitment to providing various forms of assistance to underprivileged families.

There is the ‘Your Eidiya is On Us’ initiative too. It is aimed at distributing Eid clothing to 100 orphans and their families. The move highlights the Ministry of Finance’s commitment to meeting needs before the Eid al-Fitr, to enhance social closeness and cohesion.
