Dirham Khair - one of the seven initiatives launched under the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) Foundation - has been spread to 7,000 taxis in Dubai. The initiative involves an elective donation by taxi riders, where the proceeds will be directed to support humanitarian activities at the local, regional and international levels.
As part of the initiative, every taxi rider will have a chance to donate one dirham, over and above the applicable fare. The drive was supported by 34,945 passengers during their taxi rides and since its launch last month.
The success of the Dirham Khair initiative reflects the solidarity and compassion of community members towards charitable and humanitarian causes and is a clear testament to the caring spirit of Dubai, according to authorities.
The overall objective of the initiative is to lend support to cultural, educational and charitable activities associated with transit systems.
The Dirham Khair is also available on a separate page of the RTA and Dubai Drive apps. Clients processing renewal of vehicle registration and driver licence transactions or the payment of fines through the apps can also donate one dirham only together with the service fees.
Considering the remarkable welcoming accorded to the initiative, the RTA is contemplating to broaden its scope in the taxi sector. Studies are underway to generalise the Dirham Khair to the remaining taxis operating in Dubai including franchise company taxis.
