Partnering with philanthropic individuals, compassionate companies, and government entities, FOCP's efforts aim to uplift cancer patients, survivors, and their families, embodying the sentiment of Ramadan through acts of kindness and solidarity. On March 7, FOCP commenced its Ramadan event series with a supportive Iftar gathering hosted in collaboration with TIME Grand Plaza Hotel (Dubai) for 50 children battling cancer, their parents, and also for survivors. This touching tribute timed with International Women's Day, also celebrated and honoured the resilience of mothers, whose strength often forms the foundational support of their children's brave journeys.
