H.E. Al Rumaithi said: “This event underscores the Foundation’s unwavering commitment to engaging with all community members, listening to
them and understanding them. It’s based on our belief that the community plays a pivotal role in shaping the social services we offer to enhance their
quality of life. The forum provides us with a key opportunity to identify their requirements and design programs to align with their objectives, thus
contributing to establishing a stable family environment and a cohesive society founded on real values and a preventive, proactive approach to social
work.”

H.E. added, “We chose Al Khatim as the venue for this forum in recognition of the people of this region and our desire to build a strong relationship
with them. Through this event, we seek to listen, to connect and to share a vision that helps us redefine our services to better serve families here.”

In addition, H.E. Al Rumaithi highlighted that this event reflects FDF’s vision to foster community partnership and establish direct community
channels with the community. H.E. added, “This comes from our belief that service quality commences with an accurate understanding of reality and a
thorough evaluation of community members’ requirements. Our unwavering commitment ensures that your voices shape our priorities and guide the
direction of our efforts.”

H.E. Al Rumaithi also pointed out that FDF pays special attention to the senior citizens, placing their demands at the centre of its strategies. This aligns
with the Foundation’s principle that caring for the elderly, who are a source of wisdom and generosity, is a vital social responsibility that must not be
delayed.

Furthermore, H.E. highlighted that senior citizens stand as a key pillar of our society and FDF considers it their duty to listen and understand them and
offer them a respectful and secure life that meets their goals and preserves their status through its initiatives. H.E. Al Rumaithi also noted that FDF’s
services are only through the active participation of elderly people since their opinions guide the Foundation’s path and their awareness supports its
mission to improve the quality of life for all family members. H.E. urges everyone to actively contribute towards building a more cohesive and
prosperous society.

Her opening remarks also shed light on remarkable efforts made by the Foundation’s staff, expressing her sincere gratitude and appreciation for their
steadfast commitment towards executing ambitious programs, conducting high-quality events and delivering exceptional services to senior citizens and
residents. Furthermore, H.E. praised their exceptional performance, which reflects the spirit of FDF and serves as a key driver of its sustainable
development journey.

During the conclusion, H.E. Al Rumaithi expressed heartfelt appreciation to the senior citizens, whom she described as a blessing and a beacon of
enduring values and generosity. H.E. said, “Your presence is a model we look up to, a source of inspiration as we strive to build a future grounded in
awareness and unity. We are here to serve you, support you, and meet your needs in a way that strengthens your stability and honours your role in
society.”

Key Milestone

His Excellency Abdulrahman Al Baloushi, Director of the Strategic Planning and Institutional Development Department at FDF, said, “The
Foundation places great significance on studies and field surveys as key scientific tools to learn about the actual needs of target groups. This
underscores our constant efforts to advance our services, aligning with the realities of society. The field study on the needs of Al Khatim residents
signified a key milestone in creating a planning methodology based on facts and data. Its results helped us to understand service priorities in the area,
key social issues and areas that require improvement, especially in elderly care, community engagement and offering more inclusive and sustainable
programs.”

Furthermore, H.E. Al Baloushi highlighted the Foundation’s ongoing efforts to enhance its services based on the results of the study. It is working to
develop implementation plans that meet the goals of the area’s residents and reflect its vision of offering integrated, human-focused services. H.E. also
noted that field surveys act as a key driver in fostering informed decision-making and in designing programs and initiatives that improve institutional
performance and drive sustainable social development, in line with the vision of wise leadership and the aspirations of H.H. Sheikha Fatima, to
strengthen family and societal stability.
