Abu Dhabi, March 12, 2025: The Family Development Foundation (FDF) has adopted a
specialized approach based on a comprehensive strategy that assesses community
needs. This strategy emphasizes engaging community members and stakeholders in the
planning and development of its services, aiming to enhance the quality of social services
in alignment with the needs of the beneficiaries in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.

Exemplifying the importance of such an approach, Her Excellency Mariam Mohammed Al
Rumaithi, Director General of the FDF, stated that the foundation has successfully
completed a series of social surveys this year. These studies, being conducted since
2018, carefully assess the needs of families across the Emirate, ana lyse family unity in
communities located around FDF centres in Abu Dhabi and identify important social
challenges to be tackled through awareness programs based on community feedback.

The social research also helps identify specific social services that families require,
ensuring efficient delivery of personalised services that are easily accessible within
residential areas. Such a targeted approach enables FDF to offer tailored solutions that
address pressing social issues, further promoting the development of socially
transformative services.

H.E. Al Rumaithi also added that FDF remains committed to continuously improving its
services, ensuring alignment with the wise directives of Her Highness Sheikha Fatima bint
Mubarak, ‘Mother of the Nation,’ Chairwoman of the General Women’s Union (GWU),
President of the Supreme Council for Motherhood and Childhood, and Supreme
Chairwoman of FDF. Her Excellency further stated that the organisation strives to achieve
Her Highness’s vision by devising innovative programs and services aimed at elevating
the quality of social life of Emirati families, while addressing their diverse needs to promote
long-term stability and wellness.

H.E. Al Rumaithi further highlighted the commendable social milestones achieved by FDF
through these field studies, which are developed to serve the local community, stating that
the foundation has conducted over 25 social surveys, covering over 20 residential areas in
Abu Dhabi, over the years. The studies were conducted through telephonic interviews with
individuals from diverse locations to ensure accurate data collection that will help refine
