Tamkeen organises 'Prophet's Neighbours' Endowment tour to SRTA
The tour aimed to highlight the project, explain the contribution mechanism, and its role in supporting and empowering orphans.
During the visit, the Foundation's team provided a detailed explanation of the project's concept, its noble goals, and its humanitarian vision, which is based on the principle of sponsoring orphans, empowering them, and securing their future through a sustainable endowment whose proceeds benefit the Foundation's members.
SRTA employees contribution
The various ways in which SRTA employees can contribute to this endowment were explained, whether through direct bank transfers, contributing to available monthly deductions, or purchasing endowment certificates for the project in various amounts suitable for different categories. Additionally, they can easily donate electronically via the "Neighbours of the Prophet" platform, which was developed specifically for this purpose.
Contributing to a sustainable charitable effort
Mona Bin Hadda Al Suwaidi, Director General of the Foundation, emphasised that the 'Prophet's Neighbours' Endowment Project represents a great opportunity for community members to contribute to a sustainable charitable effort that consolidates the concept of ongoing charity and achieves a long-term impact on the lives of orphans, in line with the prophetic directives that urge the sponsorship of orphans.
This humanitarian project has also received the attention of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah who was at the forefront of its supporters and invited community members to compete in this great endeavour, which is considered an ongoing charity that benefits both the donor and the beneficiary.
Raising awareness of the culture of endowment
Al Suwaidi added that through these introductory tours, the Foundation seeks to enhance awareness of the culture of endowments and its vital role in supporting the Foundation's projects and to expand the base of supporters for its endowment project, which is a key tributary in achieving the sustainability of its services to its members.
Al Suwaidi expressed the foundation appreciation for SRTA reception and their positive interaction, which reflects their commitment to social responsibility.
His Excellency Engineer Yousef Khamis Al Othmani, Chairman of SRTA said that the Authority was honoured to host a delegation from the Sharjah Social Empowerment Foundation as part of their introductory tour of the 'Prophet's Neighbours' Endowment Project. This project is a valuable model of sustainable charitable work and embodies the values of solidarity and giving inherent in our society. We were delighted to learn about this noble project, which aims to sponsor and empower orphans through an endowment whose proceeds are permanently returned to them, ensuring the stability and support necessary to build their future.
Social responsibility
The Authority, driven by its commitment to social responsibility, believes in the importance of active participation in endowment initiatives that leave a tangible and sustainable impact on the lives of beneficiaries. Al Othmani called on all Authority employees and the community to engage positively with this project and contribute to it, whether through direct donations, monthly deductions, or the purchase of endowment bonds.
Strengthening social cohesion
Al Othmani also appreciated the efforts of Sharjah Social Empowerment Foundation in promoting the culture of endowment and sustainable charitable work. He affirmed that such projects contribute to strengthening social cohesion and align with the vision of our wise leadership to build a compassionate and supportive society.
The Sharjah Social Empowerment Foundation continues to implement its promotional plan for the 'Prophet's Neighbours' Endowment Project by organising introductory tours of the project at various government and private entities across the UAE, in a move aimed at fostering a spirit of social solidarity among members of society.
