6/16/25, 11:39 AM Under The Directives Of Her Highness Sheikha Fatima Bint Mubarak FDF Launches Let Us Protect Our Elders With Love' Guide …
designed considering the unique traits of their 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.
