Information City and Continuous Progress in Community Development
Notable Achievements Over 15 Years
Dubai, UAE, October 20th, 2024 – Information City, chaired by Sheikh Mohammed Bin Maktoum Bin Juma Al Maktoum, concludes its third phase of the ‘Saada’ initiative, which started more than 5 years ago and was crowned with more than one social, health and educational activity to excel with merit in the success of its achievements and multiple initiatives, achieving its goals on all levels.
During this year, the first phase covered converting several schools in Dubai to green energy by supplying those schools with solar energy (solar) for free in exchange for these schools providing discounts on school fees for students. This phase also included organizing visits by Dubai Police to schools to educate students about traffic laws and increase the necessary security awareness aimed at protecting children from road accidents. The second phase included distributing school bags with school supplies to students in various schools, coinciding with the awareness courses provided by the Civil Defense to protect children against fires in the event of one.
Today, the Information City, in cooperation with its partners in the public and private sectors, confirms the completion of its third phase, which included the distribution of school bags with stationery and thousands of modern laptops, with its cooperation with government partners to provide awareness sessions.
Sheikh Mohammed Bin Maktoum Bin Juma Al Maktoum, the Chairman of the Information City said: “The Information City is one of the first establishments that focused on serving the community always. There is no doubt that the credibility we have achieved in a number of health, educational and community initiatives has played a major role in establishing our Emirati identity that looks at human needs and meets societal requirements. We have made great efforts in our journey to shed light on various areas of interest to society.”
“Our social responsibility extends beyond the success of initiatives, and we believe that developmental and community awareness has reached the point of integrating the principles of social work with the development of the national economy to build the United Arab Emirates. This year, we have highlighted the importance of the role of real estate development and real estate practices and raising awareness of both the investor on the one hand and the real estate developer on the other,” adds the Chairman of the Information City.
In this regard, Mr. Zurai Malik, CEO of Citi Developers, said: “We are pleased to partner with Information City to showcase our current and future projects. This partnership undoubtedly encourages the relationship between real estate development and community work. The role of real estate development in establishing community ties enhances the sense of belonging and lays the foundations for sustainable growth and prosperity, enabling individuals to live a fulfilling and prosperous life and enhancing Dubai’s global position, which has provided real estate developers with rare investment opportunities in the field of real estate development.”
On his part, Mr. Satish Sanpal, Chairman of ANAX Holding, said: “We believe in the power of community service to enhance the well-being of society. Our collaboration with Information City on the ‘Saada’ initiative reaffirms the essential role real estate plays in building stronger, more connected communities. By championing sustainable and socially responsible projects, we are not only shaping the physical landscape but also contributing to a future where development and community growth go hand in hand, fostering a better quality of life for all.”
