During the Holy Month of Ramadan, the UAE Ministry of Finance conducted four humanitarian and social programs to demonstrate its commitment to social responsibility and volunteerism. These activities are consistent with the goals of the “Year of Community 2025,” which seeks to enhance social cohesion, provide assistance to vulnerable populations, and improve their quality of life.
The four major initiatives—Ramadan Mir, Supporting Humanitarian Cases, Inspired by Zayed’s Generosity, and “Eid Gifts on Us”—reflect the ministry’s efforts to promote generosity and inclusivity. Undersecretary Younis Haji AlKhoori emphasised that these efforts not only directly assist individuals in need, but also foster a culture of volunteerism and collaboration between the public and private sectors.
Over 50 Ministry volunteers distributed food baskets to underprivileged families in Abu Dhabi as part of the “Ramadan Mir” program, which was organised in partnership with the Emirates Red Crescent. The “Supporting Humanitarian Cases” initiative gave medical and financial assistance to those in need. Nearly 1,500 blue-collar workers were provided with Iftar on Zayed Humanitarian Day, which was organised by the Ministry in conjunction with several other NGOs.
