The initiatives range from community engagement and awareness campaigns to family and business support programs. The DCD has launched its first social fund – Ma’an – through the “Together We Are Good” campaign, which aims to facilitate contributions to support different segments of society that are hit by the current crisis. “The Emirati society is well known for its interconnectedness and generosity. For this reason, Ma’an’s Together We Are Good’ program was set up to provide a platform that unifies societal efforts and highlights the community’s sense of social responsibility towards addressing high priority social challenges,” Salama Al-Ameeni, Director Genral of Ma’an, told WAM. Other campaigns include fitness programs, support for elderly care, family counseling services, as well as awareness drives for persons with disability.
