The Federal Authority for Government Human Resources (FAHR) has recently signed a memorandum of understanding with Dubai Cares, in order to build strategic partnership between the two sides and enhance cooperation in humanitarian, charitable and social work, which serve children and youth in many poor countries. The MoU was signed by Dr Abdulrahman Al Awar, Director General of FAHR and HE Tariq Al Gurg, Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Cares.
The MoU aims to enhance cooperation between the Authority and Dubai Cares to support the philanthropic organization’s initiatives through promoting and publicizing them at the level of the Federal Government and jointly launching them.
Commenting on the side-lines of the signing ceremony, HE Dr. Abdulrahman Al Awar, Director General of the Authority said that signing the Memorandum of Understanding with Dubai Cares is part of a series of initiatives being stepped up by the Authority within its humanitarian and community activities to mark Year of Zayed.
“The present initiative comes after the cooperation agreement signed between FAHR and Al Jalila Foundation, in addition to humanitarian aid to the needy in partnership with the Foundation, and the launch of Umra Zayed initiative at the level of the Federal Government to help dozens of workers to perform Umrah”, he said.
He pointed out that cooperation with Dubai Cares reflects the Authority's keenness to interact with the announcement of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, 2018 as Year of Zayed.
HE praised the great efforts by Dubai Cares and the many initiatives launched by the Foundation to provide children and the youth in developing countries with access to education through integrated and sustainable programs that remove obstacles to children's schooling and learning. He noted that cooperation between the two sides will contribute to guiding the charitable and voluntary efforts of the Authority towards a very important area, namely education, which is one of the most effective tools in combatting and eliminating poverty.
Tarek Al Gurg, Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Cares, said: "We are very pleased to sign this partnership with the Federal Authority for Government Human Resources and grateful for their support to our education programs around the world that give hope to millions of disadvantaged children and young people in developing countries."
"This support is evidence of the community's commitment to the principles and legacy of the founding father of the UAE, through programs and initiatives that reflect his vision and humanitarian values. We look forward to making a difference in the lives of children and young people together by bringing about change through education."
