By OneArabia
Published: Thursday, June 12, 2025, 18:53 [GST] The Family Development Foundation (FDF) has introduced a guide titled ‘Let Us Protect Our Elders with
Love.’ This initiative, guided by H.H. Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, aims to promote respectful care for senior citizens. The launch took place at the Foundation’s Abu
Dhabi Centre, coinciding with World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, and emphasised the importance of family roles in creating supportive environments for the elderly.

During the event, Mariam Mohammed Al Rumaithi, Director-General of FDF, highlighted the guide's significance. She stated, "The ‘Let Us Protect Our Elders with Love’
guide is a testament to our unwavering commitment to protect senior citizens and highlight our strong belief in providing them respectful, compassionate and
psychologically aware care." The guide combines various expertise to address unintentional emotional harm and offers positive alternatives for better elder care.

The conference gathered notable attendees including Abdulrahman Al Baloushi, Saeed Al Ghafli, Wafa Al Ali, social experts, strategic partners, media professionals,
and senior citizens. The event aimed to foster community awareness about challenges faced by elderly individuals while reinforcing values like loyalty and gratitude. It
also included discussions on how families can ensure a nurturing environment for seniors.

Al Rumaithi expressed gratitude towards H.H. Sheikha Fatima for her continuous support of senior citizens. She noted that this gesture reflects high standards of loyalty
and generosity within Emirati society. The guide aligns with UAE’s leadership vision under President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who
emphasises loyalty and national recognition.
