Zayed Higher Organization for People of Determination participated in the second edition of the Ramadan Together initiative, launched by the Emirates Blood Donation Association, continuing the campaign launched last year.
The initiative aims to raise awareness among drivers before Iftar, urging them to adhere to traffic rules by following speed limits, maintaining safe distances while driving, and paying attention when approaching pedestrian crossings at intersections and traffic signals to reduce accidents under the slogan "Drive safely to arrive safely."
This initiative is also part of the association's strategic plan, which encourages individuals of all ages and diverse institutions in their services to the community, volunteer work, celebrated annually during Ramadan, coinciding with Zayed Humanitarian Day, a day on which the United Arab Emirates commemorates the anniversary of the death of its founder, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, may God have mercy on him, honoring his legacy in the field of humanitarian and charitable work.
The initiative aims to distribute approximately 250,000 Iftar meals at three traffic intersections in Al Ain and Khalifa City in Abu Dhabi. Over 50 volunteers participate in this initiative at each intersection, in addition to volunteers from various regions, where the daily number of volunteers reaches 450, in addition to volunteers from participating institutions daily.
The association and the volunteer team undertake several initiatives to pack boxes throughout the month to give senior citizens, children, and people of determination the opportunity to participate in this initiative under conditions that consider their health status and capabilities while ensuring their safety.
In conjunction with several events during the month of March, symbolic gifts were distributed to drivers on Happiness Day, Mother's Day, World Down Syndrome Day, and World Autism Day. Zayed Higher Organization for People of Determination participated in these events, reinforcing the societal role of people of determination and their integration into society.
