Ministry of Finance Launches Four Humanitarian Initiatives During Ramadan
Upholding its commitment to social responsibility, the Ministry of Finance has launched four humanitarian and social initiatives during the Holy Month of Ramadan.
These initiatives, Ramadan Mir, Supporting Humanitarian Cases, Inspired by Zayed's Generosity, and Eid Gifts on Us , align with the objectives of the "Year of Community 2025", aimed at fostering social solidarity and supporting vulnerable groups.
Younis Haji AlKhoori, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Finance, emphasized that these initiatives not only provide direct assistance but also promote a culture of volunteerism and strengthen public-private partnerships. He stated, 'These efforts are fully aligned with the Year of Community 2025, reflecting our dedication to delivering lasting, positive change.'
The "Ramadan Mir" initiative, held in collaboration with the Family Care Authority and the Emirates Red Crescent, saw over 50 volunteers from the Ministry distributing essential food baskets to families in need.
In partnership with the Emirates Red Crescent, the "Supporting Humanitarian Cases" initiative provided financial aid for individuals facing critical health conditions, with contributions from Ministry employees helping to cover urgent medical expenses.
Commemorating Zayed Humanitarian Day, the "Inspired by Zayed's Generosity" initiative reached over 1,500 underprivileged individuals, particularly blue-collar workers, through large-scale Iftar campaigns organized alongside the General Authority of Islamic Affairs and Endowments, Zakat Fund, and Emirates Red Crescent.
Concluding its Ramadan programme, the "Eid Gifts on Us" initiative, in collaboration with the Rashid Centre for People of Determination, brought joy to 50 individuals with Eid gifts—reinforcing values of compassion and inclusion.
These initiatives reflect the Ministry's ongoing efforts to build a more cohesive, inclusive, and sustainable society, inspired by the UAE's enduring humanitarian principles.

Over 10,000 rest stations provided for delivery workers across UAE during Midday Break
The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) announced that over 10,000 air-conditioned rest stations equipped with comfort amenities will be provided for use by delivery service workers across the UAE throughout the Midday Break period. The Midday Break is implemented in collaboration with relevant government entities and private sector partners from June 15 to Sept.15, 2025. The Ministry applauded all entities participating in this humanitarian initiative, which include Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), the Integrated Transport Centre at the Department of Municipalities and Transport in Abu Dhabi, and the Departments of Economic Development across all Emirates and Emirates General Petroleum Corporation (Emarat). Partners also include delivery platforms such as Talabat, Deliveroo, Noon, and Careem, among others, as well as numerous restaurants, shopping centres, retail stores, and cloud kitchens, who contributed to the effort. MoHRE stressed the importance of this initiative, particularly given that delivery services are a vital logistical sector with a unique operational model, where workers are not stationed in fixed locations during the Midday Break, and where certain items require speed and precision in delivery. Delivery service workers can access the nearest rest stations through interactive maps available on the apps. This year's Midday Break initiative is a continuation of the efforts undertaken last year, when 6,000 fully equipped and air-conditioned rest stations were provided for delivery workers. The significant expansion this year reaffirms the effectiveness of these efforts in protecting this category of workers from the risks of heat exhaustion during summer, especially during the Midday Break hours from 12:30 pm to 3:00 pm. The Midday Break initiative requires employers to provide appropriate shaded areas for workers to rest, along with adequate cooling devices, sufficient cold drinking water depending on the number of workers, hydration supplies approved by local authorities, and first aid equipment at job sites. The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation called on members of the community to report any violations of the Midday Break regulations to its call centre at 600590000, or through its smart application or official website.
