Al Rumaithi further highlighted that the club delivers a wide range of programmes tailored to the health, psychological,

and social needs of seniors. These programmes help promote their integration into society, capitalise on their
experience to support future generations, and strengthen intergenerational respect and communication.

She 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.

Her Excellency Wafa Mohammed Al Ali, Director of 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.

Her Excellency Al Ali added that the Family Development Foundation had previously inaugurated Barakat Al Dar
Social Clubs in Al Mirfa and Al Wathba in 2022, followed by the opening of clubs in Al Sila' and Al Ain in 2024. The

most recent addition was the launch of the Ramah Club in 2025.

Her Excellency affirmed the foundation’s ongoing commitment to supporting senior citizens by providing a safe,

empowering environment that promotes psychological and social wellbeing and fosters continued civic participation.
