The Government of Abu Dhabi’s official channel to receive social contributions, rolled out six new volunteering opportunities across various fields, including health, education, environment, infrastructure and the social sector.
It aims to support and empower the community to contribute to delivering sustainable, innovative solutions and create long-lasting impact that benefits the Abu Dhabi community.

“The Abu Dhabi community is generous, and we are grateful for contributions shared year-round, but we encourage those who can contribute funds to consider supporting solutions that address the social priorities that matter to community members and enhance their lifestyle,” he added.
