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

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 FDF’s social
services. Her Excellency also underscored the pivotal role of these studies in identifying the requirements of residents

and ensuring that FDF’s programs are consistently improved to align with their evolving needs.

Furthermore, Muneera Majed Al Ali, Director of the Studies and Research Department at FDF, said that the
specially designed surveys were developed by FDF’s social specialists, in collaboration with the Statistics Center – Abu

Dhabi to ensure scientific accuracy. The research included 18,000 individuals of both genders and relied on descriptive
analytics as well as advanced statistical tools to generate interactive visual reports.

She also listed key recommendations derived from these studies, such as developing family awareness programs,

improving family and psychological support services, as well as providing social services addressing each region’s
specific needs. Furthermore, in line with its enduring vision to bolster community cohesion, FDF continuously
innovates, expanding the scope of these studies to explore new areas, reinforce key social objectives and support the

well-being of families within the Emirate.
