                                    Serving over 2,200 individuals during 2023


                           Family Development Foundation raises

                    community awareness of Family-Work Balance





                   Abu Dhabi, January 30 2024: The Family Development Foundation (FDF) launched

                   the ‘Family-Work Balance’ service, with an aim to nurture stability in families and raise
                   community awareness on ensuring a thriving family life for community members. The

                   move  comes  in  line  with  the  Foundation’s  unwavering  commitment  to  improve

                   cohesion and development of Emirati families, as well as to empower them to confront
                   unanticipated challenges, promote gender equality in leadership roles and ensure active

                   economic participation.

                   The service was introduced with an aim to ensure an ideal work and family balance.

                   Furthermore,  it  seeks  to  empower  women  to  plan  and  lead  a  healthy  lifestyle

                   independently, while honing their skills to lead a harmonious professional and personal
                   life. It also aims to improve the women’s capabilities to retain a balance between their

                   professional  and  personal  commitment  and  help  them  to  contribute  towards

                   empowering their families. The service offered a wide array of workshops, programs
                   and  community  events  throughout  last  year  that  significantly  helped  in  fostering

                   stability and balance between work and family life. The main goal of the service is to
                   create a harmonious family unit and support the overall cohesion of the society.


                   Khadija Al Suwaidi, Cultural Programs Specialist at FDF, said: “Last year, the

                   Foundation conducted a wide range of programs and activities in 17 FDF-affiliated
                   centres across Abu Dhabi including Al Dhafra, Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and it supported

                   more than 2,200 women.”


                   “Furthermore, FDF organised a series of events and programs in collaboration with
                   various partners and third parties in order to commemorate various international days.

                   In light of this, the Foundation conducted four workshops for ADNOC Distribution
                   employees. The key goal of the sessions was to promote work-life balance.
