Abu Dhabi, April 14, 2025: The Family Development Foundation (FDF) has launched a series of initiatives,

events and workshops through the Zayed Humanitarian Library (ZHL) for senior citizens and all members of
society. This comes in line with the relentless efforts of the Foundation to foster a culture of reading and build
a society based on education and knowledge.

Through these initiatives, FDF aims to make reading a constant part of lifestyle, which plays a pivotal role in
shaping a cultured and modern society.

Fatima Obaid Al Mansoori, Head of the ZHL team and Director of the Al Marfa Centre, said: “At ZHL, we are
actively implementing the ‘Reading Community’ initiative. As part of our efforts, we have conducted more
than 15 interactive workshops with the participation of over 250 members from families and communities

across FDF’s centres in Abu Dhabi, Al Dhafra and Al Ain.”
The workshops covered various fields, such as the presentation of valuable books, awareness messages on

speed reading techniques and panel discussions to evaluate the practices for nurturing a love of reading
within families and promoting knowledge exchange across generations.
