The contributions will support funding innovative programmes and initiatives that address the social priorities in Abu Dhabi.

In coordination with the campaign’s partners, we have selected a number of strategic locations with high footfall to allow potential contributors to make a positive impact on social causes.”
He added: ‘For Our Community’ is our collective drive to inspire acts of giving back to the community as a sustainable source of funding to causes that will help build a better future for Abu Dhabi and its citizens.”
Financial contributions will support several causes ranging from education to healthcare through finding innovative solutions, such as Organs Transplant Support campaign and ‘Together We Are Good’.
