Over 1,000 Emirati youth sign up for social service
ABU DHABI — Over 1,000 young Emiratis have signed up for Takatof initiative for voluntarily participating in social work in their spare time, said Ahmed Ali Al Sayegh, managing director of the Emirates Foundation, a leading non-governmental organisation.
“The Foundation launched Takatof (shoulder to shoulder) initiative, recently, which is a unique initiative to develop the spirit of volunteering among young Emiratis,” Al Sayegh said here.
He was addressing the media after receiving Dh25 million donation from Etisalat. The amount will be spent on social welfare services being rendered by the NGO.
Al Sayegh said the Emirates Foundation is working in four core areas — education, research and development, arts and culture and social and economic development.
“Over 1,000 young people have already signed up, and have been taking part in such useful projects as school renovation in Fujairah, hospital social work, the diabetes awareness pavilion in the Abu Dhabi Marina Mall. This is just the beginning,” he said.
