Etihad Airways holds donation drive to mark Zayed Day

Etihad Airways recently organised a donation drive for women living at one of the largest labour residential facilities in Abu Dhabi to mark the Zayed Humanitarian Work Day, and in the spirit of the holy month of Ramadan.

The initiative, organised under Etihad Airways’ Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) ‘iVolunteer’ programme, saw over 50 volunteers from the airline’s Abu Dhabi head office visiting the Mohammed Bin Zayed City facility to deliver special gift packs of fresh fruit, canned food and personal care items.

Volunteers also distributed hot meals to about 330 women in collaboration with Abu Dhabi Cause Connect, a UAE-based community group that is dedicated to increasing creative collaboration between causes, communities and companies.

Also recently, the Etihad Airways Duty Free team hosted a merchandise sale at the airline’s head office in Abu Dhabi to raise funds and support the donation drive.

Launched by Etihad Airways’ CSR department in June 2014, the ‘iVolunteer’ programme engages staff in community-related activities, supporting the work of local charities across the UAE and in other parts of the world.

The ‘iVolunteer’ programme aims to promote and support a culture of social responsibility and provides a platform for those interested to volunteer in community work. Since the launch, the programme has witnessed great success, and in less than two months, has registered over 400 employees from around the airline’s global network.
