The Women and Family Social Empowerment Club seeks to empower families by imparting social skills, encouraging positive thinking, adapting to diverse living conditions, and enhancing overall well-being. The club places a special focus on empowering women in various aspects of life, increasing legal knowledge to educate them about their rights and obligations, fostering self-confidence, and facilitating self-growth.
To create an inspiring environment for families, the club promotes community engagement, positivity, values of volunteering, and environmental sustainability for enduring family dynamics. The Jebel Hafeet Community Centre is dedicated to offering diverse services, programmes, events, and activities for families, aligning with FDF's commitment to creating a social environment that encourages communication and provides a safe space for families and communities.
The FDF, in its dedication to meeting the evolving needs of the community, actively monitors societal needs, and aims to improve the quality of life for community members. The Foundation seeks to achieve this by combining entertainment, fun, communication, and education through innovative approaches, fostering enduring partnerships with the local community and strategic allies to ensure the long-term stability and cohesion of the community in Al Ain.
