UAE To Launch Unified Card For People Of Determination
The Ministry of Family, in partnership with the Zayed Higher Organization for People of Determination, has launched a joint initiative to develop an integrated, innovative service system that supports the needs and aspirations of people of determination. The initiative aligns with the UAE's strategic direction to strengthen government cooperation, provide comprehensive services for people of determination, enhance quality of life, and promote social inclusion. A key feature of the initiative is the introduction of a unified identification card, recognized at both federal and local levels set to roll out by January 2026. This card will streamline access to a wide range of services. As part of the collaboration, both parties will work to harmonize relevant legislation, fully implement the Unified National Disability Classification, and standardize diagnostic and assessment criteria. Abu Dhabi residents will be able to apply for the People of Determination Card through the Zayed Higher Organization. Additionally, coordinated efforts will be made to deliver joint training programs and to exchange expertise and knowledge, with the aim of enhancing the competencies of national professionals working in this field. Both entities are working to enhance the protection of rights for People of Determination, unify responses to inquiries through various communication channels, and ensure the Organization's participation in relevant local and international events. They also commit to conducting benchmarking of systems, working hours, and needs of People of Determination, as well as exchanging best local and global practices. Innovative technological solutions such as data-sharing networks and the expansion of smart application use will be implemented. The cooperation also aims to develop curricula and facilities in care and rehabilitation canters, and to raise public awareness of issues related to People of Determination through joint campaigns and activities that contribute to building an inclusive and supportive environment. Both sides will monitor the employment stability of People of Determination and provide the necessary support for their professional empowerment.

Delta Coatings completes roof insulation work at Rashid Centre
Delta Coatings International, a global leader in polyurea protective coatings and sustainable infrastructure solutions, said it has successfully completed a charitable project delivering new roof insulation and waterproofing at the Rashid Centre for People of Determination in Dubai. In this latest charitable initiative, Delta Coatings had supplied and applied a full roof insulation and waterproofing system. The solution combined high-performance polyurethane (PU) foam insulation with Delta's cutting-edge DeltaShield TC 100 polyurea coating, delivering long-term protection against heat and moisture, crucial in the UAE's demanding climate, said the company in a statement. Established in 1994, the Rashid Centre has long been a beacon of hope and opportunity for people of determination from as young as four years old, providing a therapeutic, educational and vocational training environment for students with a variety of physical, sensory and learning disabilities. The centre has continually evolved to align with the UAE's inclusive vision, offering a curriculum empowering students to achieve independence and gainful employment. On the key initiative, Sales Director Paul Symons said: "This is about giving back to a country that has provided us with endless opportunities. Our gratitude goes out to the Rashid Centre for People of Determination for allowing us to contribute and for giving us an opportunity to see the remarkable environment they've cultivated." "It's partnerships like these that reinforce the power of collaboration and compassion. Supporting this fantastic institution aligns perfectly with our core values and CSR objectives of empowering communities and enhancing lives through meaningful, impact-driven initiatives," he added. General Manager Belvin Marx, who led the technical execution of the project, said: "We take immense pride in supporting institutions like the Rashid Centre. The waterproofing and insulation solution not only improves building performance but also contributes to a safer, more comfortable learning environment for students of determination." This initiative is one of several ways Delta is integrating environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles into its operations. The company's new headquarters and manufacturing facility in Dubai Industrial City, which is currently under development, will feature rooftop solar energy systems and sustainably sourced building materials to lower overall emissions and energy use.
