SSSD organizes Eid Al-Fitr 'Intaj' exhibition
On this occasion, Mariam Al Hammadi, Director of the Production Center, said that the exhibition aims to display the products of productive families who are eligible for social security in the department, from the five packages: the 'Tayeb' package for perfumes and incense, the 'Atayeb' package, which includes ghee, spices, and coffee, the 'Elegance' package for clothes and accessories, the 'Mahra' package for traditional crafts, and the 'Creativity' package for handicrafts. This occasion is one of the events that the Production Center has been organizing annually, to allow the public to choose Eid items and to get acquainted with the products of productive families who benefit from the department's services, in addition to marketing their products, which have become well-known to members of the community because they meet the needs of the local market, are of competitive quality in the market, and carry the 'Production' trademark. We first evaluate the product before displaying it in terms of the raw materials used and the external appearance, in addition to the presence of a card on the product. Every buyer of products worth 400 dirhams will receive a purchase voucher worth 100 dirhams provided by the Sharjah Cooperative Society. The director of the "Intaj" center added that the goal is to market the members' products, which offer competitive products and services in the local market, in addition to introducing the center to the public and raising the economic status of families receiving social assistance by providing them with the opportunity to participate in exhibitions, events, and other activities. Al Hammadi added that the Sharjah Social Services Department, as a supporter, will cover all necessary expenses, including rent and exhibition requirements, so that participating members will not incur any fees or financial payments. It's worth noting that the "Intaj" Center offers its members' products for sale on its online store platform, with a delivery service.
