6/9/25, 11:07 AM New initiative to provide social services to UAE’s senior citizens
These programmes help promote their integration into society, capitalise on their experience to
support future generations, and strengthen intergenerational respect and communication.

Al Rumaithi also explained that the selection of Al Shiwayb was based on a comprehensive field
study that assessed the needs of senior citizens in the region and identified priority areas for
development and services.

The findings indicated an urgent need for a fully equipped social club that delivers tailored

services to this demographic, leading the foundation to implement the project in a way that
meets local needs and ensures balanced service provision across the emirate.

Wafa Mohammed Al Ali, Director of the Family Development Department at FDF, reaffirmed the

foundation's commitment to strengthening its social role through purposeful and strategic
partnerships with public and private entities.

These collaborations aim to create an inclusive and sustainable environment for senior citizens

and residents alike, providing programmes and services that enhance their quality of life and
support their active participation in society.
