Abu Dhabi - Beneficiaries extended thanks for KF's initiatives which would avail them the opportunity to spend the rest of Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr among their families at their home countries.

The Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation (KF) has pledged to pay the expenses for the deportation of 250 pardoned prisoners from different nationalities to their home countries.
The gesture came in implementation of the directives of the President, His Highness Shaikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan and the follow-up of His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces.
