Dubai Electricity and Water Authority staff are distributing Iftar meals to drivers on the roads and at traffic intersections before Maghrib prayers during Ramadan to carry out the directives of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to mark 19 June as Zayed Humanitarian Work Day in memory of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. DEWA is working in cooperation with the Al Ihsan Charity Association for the 5th Ramadan Aman safety campaign, with the theme ‘Together during Ramadan without accidents.’ The initiative is held in collaboration with police from different Emirates and Al Ihsan. The campaign promotes the safety of people who are fasting during Ramadan, especially when they drive their cars before Iftar.
“DEWA supports Zayed Humanitarian Work Day, which has become a significant part of the UAE’s history. This reflects our gratitude to the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, and his efforts to establish humanitarianism and a culture of philantropy within the UAE,” said HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA.
Al Tayer noted that the initiatives to encourage a culture of philanthropy that were launched by the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan are still supported by HH Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, HH Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, their Highnesses the Members of the Supreme Council and Rulers of the Emirates, and all the people of the UAE.
The late Sheikh Zayed’s approach has integrated corporate skills and a communal culture, embodies the spirit of the UAE, and aims to achieve everyone’s happiness and well-being.
“DEWA participates in humanitarian activities as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), and works to enhance social development by developing the community, and continuously supporting initiatives that enhance cohesion and solidarity among employees. DEWA is establishing a culture of cooperation and voluntary work, as these two elements play a major role in enhancing loyalty,” said Al Tayer.
The Ramadan Aman Campaign is held throughout the holy month of Ramadan, and covers a number of traffic intersections across all 7 Emirates. The campaign will distribute Iftar meals to drivers passing through the intersections, 15 minutes before Maghrib prayers. Volunteers will also distribute letters to raise awareness about the importance of obeying the speed limit and road regulations. DEWA staff will be located at the Police Academy intersection, the City Walk intersection, the World Trade Centre intersection in Zabeel, the Century Mall intersection in Al Mamzar, Oud Al Muteena intersection in Deira, and the Union Society intersection in Al Twar.
