Dubai-based developer, Deyaar Development, has launched Deyaar Al Khair, an initiative that will provide free maintenance services to underprivileged families across the country through its subsidiary, Deyaar Facilities Management (DFM).
As part of its initiative, Deyaar has signed memorandums of understanding with the Beit Al Khair and Dar Al Ber Societies, to identify a list of houses across the country that need immediate intervention. During the first phase of the initiative, which will last until the end of 2017, Deyaar will carry out AED500,000 worth of essential
maintenance.
Saeed Al Qatami, CEO, Deyaar, said: Deyaar Development is pleased to launch this initiative, which is in line with the Year of Giving strategies announced by HH Shaikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE. Deyaar Al Khair stems from the company’s awareness of importance of providing assistance to all segments of the local community through its expertise and services, away from focusing on achieving financial profit only.
Such initiatives play an important role in enhancing the sense of cooperation for both individuals by giving them the opportunity to volunteer and organisations to provide comprehensive services to the community.
DFM will manage maintenance services provided to houses in number of cities across the country. Specialised teams from the company will be involved in the operations along with volunteers from Deyaar Developments
different departments.
Abdullah Ali bin Zayed Al Falasi, executive director, Dar Al Ber Society, said: Our participation in Deyaar Al Khair initiative comes in response to HH Shaikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyans initiative to name 2017 as the Year of Giving. I would like to express our sincere appreciation to Deyaar for considering partnering with Dar Al Ber for this initiative, which reflects the commitment of the UAEs organisations to corporate responsibility principles, to the benefit of hundreds of unprivileged families.
The MoU we signed with Deyaar includes a commitment to participate in events and social activities, develop white papers and cooperate in activities through social media platforms to promote the Year of Giving activities carried out by both firms. Our participation shows Dar Al Bers commitment to working with organisations from the private and public sectors to achieve the charitable, humanitarian and national objectives of the Year of Giving agenda.
Abdeen Taher Al Awadhi, general manager, Beit Al Khair Society, said: Its our pleasure to be part of the Deyaar Al Khair initiative, which represents our commitment to developing the Emirati community. Our participation in this initiative comes in response to the UAE Government marking 2017 as The Year of Giving. Beit Al Khair is proud to support this great cause, which reflects the spirit of giving and kindness and aims to interact with suffering families. This initiative truly meets the directives of our leadership, and will increase the levels of happiness within the
community as part of the Vision 2021 agenda.”
