6/16/25, 11:33 AM Under the directives of Her Highness Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak FDF launches ‘Let Us Protect Our Elders with Love' guide duri…
age. It seeks to enhance the quality of life of elderly people by including their opinions and suggestions in family decisions and
offering them meaningful social interaction opportunities, ensuring their dignity and active involvement in society.

H.E. confirmed that the guide prioritises the well-being of the elderly and said: “We dedicate this guide to everyone who
understands that caring for our senior citizens is not simply a social commitment, but it is an act of awareness, fairness, and
mature emotion, one that considers dignity as something not to be granted, but to be safeguarded. It is for those who believe
that compassion is more than intent, it is deep recognition, emotional presence and respect for experience. It is for those who
wish to be a source of reassurance, not a burden; a comforting hand, not a controlling one. The guide is a message of love
translated into daily practices that restore their rightful place, offer lasting appreciation, and foster unbreakable belonging.”
H.E. Al Rumaithi also appreciated the sincere efforts of those who designed the ‘Let Us Protect Our Elders with Love’ guide,
underscoring its role in fostering empathy-driven care for senior citizens and providing content based on profound understanding
of their needs, while helping create a more compassionate and appreciative society.
After concluding the press conference, various events were held alongside a series of public discussions that highlighted the key
themes of the ‘Let Us Protect Our Elders with Love’ guide. It included a presentation of the ‘Proactive Steps for Protecting Senior
Citizens’ training program to improve skills and knowledge in conscious care practices. It also included an awareness workshop
focusing on senior citizens’ rights and an interactive game themed ‘Let Us Protect Our Elders with Love,’ designed to reinforce
human-centred values and promote meaningful engagement with this cherished group of society.

FDF remains committed to providing comprehensive care for the senior citizens, driven by its belief in the pivotal role of seniors
in shaping the society and in honour of their lifelong sacrifices. Through its tailored programs and initiatives, FDF aims to
improve their quality of life and ensure a supportive family and social environment based on respect and inclusion. These efforts
come in line with the humanitarian and national values as well as contribute towards the UAE’s goal of reinforcing social
solidarity and ensuring the prosperity of all community members.
