Dubai Charity Association and Salik, the exclusive operator of toll gates in Dubai, organized a special celebration for orphaned children on the occasion of Eid Al-Adha. The event aimed to bring smiles to the faces of this cherished group within the community and to create an atmosphere of joy and festivity during the Eid days—an embodiment of the deep-rooted humanitarian values of the UAE society.
The celebration, held in the main hall of the association’s headquarters, was attended by H.E. Ahmed Al Suwaidi, CEO of Dubai Charity Association, and H.E. Ibrahim Sultan Al Haddad, CEO of Salik, along with a large number of orphaned children and their families. The event featured various entertaining and educational segments, including an interactive drawing and coloring workshop designed to enhance children's creative skills. Eid clothing vouchers, gifts, and cash Eidiya were also distributed to the participating children.
In his opening speech at the event, H.E. Ahmed Al Suwaidi, CEO of Dubai Charity Association, extended his heartfelt congratulations to the attendees on the occasion of Eid Al-Adha. He prayed to Almighty Allah to return this blessed occasion upon everyone, and upon our beloved nation—its wise leadership and generous people—as well as upon the Arab and Islamic nations, with goodness, security, and peace.
Al Suwaidi expressed his sincere gratitude to Salik for their collaboration and sponsorship of the event. He noted that Dubai Charity Association has placed special care and exceptional attention on orphaned children since its establishment 45 years ago—a commitment that has continued uninterrupted over the decades. Today, the association sponsors more than 14,000 children within the UAE, in addition to supporting children across 16 countries worldwide. This is part of its comprehensive and diverse humanitarian programs and charitable initiatives, in adherence to the teachings and values of our noble religion, and in alignment with the UAE’s established humanitarian policy, the vision and guidance of our wise leadership, and the deeply rooted values and heritage of the generous Emirati people, who are known for their love of giving and doing good.
For his part, Mr. Ibrahim Sultan Al Haddad, CEO of Salik, stated:
"Salik’s active participation in various humanitarian initiatives and projects across the UAE is a true reflection of our corporate social responsibility toward all segments of society. This stems from our firm belief in the importance of such initiatives in strengthening social cohesion and aligns with the UAE’s broader humanitarian mission. This includes our support for orphaned children, a group we are proud to stand by, ensuring they receive the care and support necessary for their healthy development and happiness—because we believe this is an investment in their future.
Al Haddad expressed Salik’s pride in collaborating with Dubai Charity Association, a leading organization in humanitarian work, to organize this event that brings joy to children's faces. He affirmed the company’s ongoing commitment to participating in various distinguished charitable and humanitarian initiatives, which further solidify its reputation as a key contributor to the economic and social development of the UAE and the Emirate of Dubai.
