Dubai’s Community Development Authority, following directives from His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai, has initiated a relief campaign. The aim is to offer immediate aid to individuals affected by the recent heavy rains. Contributions to support this relief effort can be made through CDA’s 'Jood' platform.
Launched under the umbrella of the 'Committee for Assisting Weather-Affected Citizens in Dubai' that was formed under the directives of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan, the 'Tadhamon' (solidarity) campaign offers a chance for private sector companies, entrepreneurs, and community members to lend their support. This assistance aims to help those whose homes and belongings were impacted by the recent adverse weather conditions.
The integration of the initiative into the 'Jood' digital platform allows for seamless participation and monitoring of the campaign’s progress. Real-time updates on the support requirements and accomplishments will be easily accessible, ensuring maximum benefit for the affected individuals.
Her Excellency Hessa bint Essa Buhumaid, Director-General of the Community Development Authority in Dubai, said, "The Authority has received numerous requests for contributions from businesspeople and companies, all eager to lend a helping hand to those affected. Through the launch of the relief campaign on the ‘Jood’ platform, our goal is to streamline the process for community members and companies willing to support those impacted, making it convenient for them to provide financial assistance for damages to properties and homes."
