More than 30 volunteers from DEWA participated in preparing the hall to receive people of determination.
Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD and CEO of DEWA, said, "We are keen to enhance the percentage of community happiness about our support for people of determination, which reached 94 percent in 2022, by launching and encouraging community initiatives and programmes to maximise the engagement of this important segment in society and consolidating their positive involvement with their community.
"This is part of our commitment to achieving the National Policy for Empowering People of Determination, launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, to create an inclusive society that ensures empowerment and a decent life for People of Determination and their families."
He added that the move also supports the "My Community... a City for Everyone" initiative, launched by H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of Dubai Executive Council, to transform Dubai into an accessible city for people of determination.
Dr. Nadia Khalil Al Sayegh, Director-General of Senses, expressed her gratitude to DEWA for its cooperation.
