6/25/25, 10:35 AM Abu Dhabi Launches Heartwarming Initiative to Support Families and Senior Citizens
The Barakatna initiative serves as a gentle but powerful reminder that the true strength of a community lies in how it treats its
most vulnerable members. By supporting families in their caregiving duties, it creates a ripple effect — nurturing stronger family
bonds, reducing social isolation among senior citizens, and preserving the cherished values of empathy and compassion.

Looking Ahead: More Initiatives to Empower Families
The success and reception of this housing loan service may well pave the way for additional initiatives under the Barakatna
programme in the future. As communities evolve and the challenges faced by families caring for senior members grow more
complex, adaptive services like these will play an increasingly vital role.
With visionary leadership and a culture that values its elders, Abu Dhabi and the wider UAE continue to set benchmarks in social
care and family-focused governance.

This initiative isn’t merely about numbers or policies — it’s about heart. It’s about ensuring that every elderly parent feels valued
and cared for and that every son or daughter providing that care is supported, empowered, and uplifted in their role.

A New Chapter in Community-Centered Development
At its core, this initiative reflects the UAE’s identity as a nation built on strong family ties, respect for elders, and social cohesion.
By investing in services that directly impact the day-to-day lives of its citizens, the country is reinforcing its commitment to human
dignity and community welfare.
As Abu Dhabi continues to prioritise initiatives that empower families, protect vulnerable community members, and ease
everyday challenges, the Barakatna initiative stands as a shining example of what compassionate governance looks like.
It reminds us all that sometimes, the most impactful changes aren’t those that make headlines globally but those that quietly
improve lives at home — one family at a time.

In Conclusion: A Thoughtful Gesture with Far-Reaching Impact
The new service to extend the repayment period of housing loans for primary caregivers of senior citizens is more than just a
financial facility. It’s a thoughtful gesture that carries with it the warmth of family, the strength of solidarity, and the promise of a
more caring, united society.
As families across Abu Dhabi begin to benefit from this initiative, its impact will likely be felt not just in the numbers on a
repayment schedule, but in the smiles of relieved caregivers, the gratitude of cherished parents, and the strengthening of family
ties that have always been the backbone of Emirati culture.
