Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) launched community initiatives for children, orphans and students from limited-income families to celebrate Eid Al Adha and offered gifts to 300 students from National Charity schools.
The initiatives were organised in collaboration with Keolis-MHI, Bagshatna Design, and Toys ‘R’ Us.
The events are organised in line with RTA’s Strategic Plan 2023-2030 to foster a culture of support and solidarity besides promoting positivity and happiness values. Such humanitarian and social initiatives target all spectrums and age groups of community members.
“RTA has prepared a plan for community initiatives to celebrate Eid Al Adha, including the distribution of Kiswat Al Eid (clothing) for orphan girls and those from limited-income families. The initiatives also included Cash Eidayah to 300 students from the National Charity Schools,” said Rowdah Al Mehrizi, Director of Marketing & Corporate Communication, Corporate Administrative Support Services Sector, RTA.
“As part of efforts to show care and bring happiness to orphans from limited-income families, the initiatives included the distribution of gifts and a trip for 40 orphan children with limited-income families to IMG Worlds of Adventure.” Al Mehrizi added.
