HH Sheikh Maktoum Al Maktoum recognises du's ongoing contributions to the UAE

du is proud to have received recognition from Dubai Cares for its ongoing efforts to add life to life for the residents of the UAE during its fifth anniversary celebration. 

His Highness Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai felicitated Ahmad bin Byat, Chairman, du, who was present on behalf of the company along with members of du executive management. 

The ceremony was attended by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, and His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai.

"It is a privilege and an honour to receive this outstanding recognition from an organisation as admirable as Dubai Cares. 

As a responsible Emirati company, our customers and fellow citizens come first, in-line with the directives and vision of the country's leadership. 

When individuals come together to assist one another, they have the power to uplift their community, both societally and economically. 

There are myriad benefits to volunteerism, and we aim to foster a culture of community contribution within the UAE," said Ahmad Bin Byat, Chairman, du. 

"Charity may begin at home, but it knows no borders. With the assistance of organisations such as Dubai Cares, we have had the opportunity to help people in the UAE, and also to extend our reach to help those in need elsewhere in the world," he added. 

During Ramadan, du is actively embracing the spirit of generosity that the Holy Month embodies to benefit the UAE and its citizens, under the theme of 'Khair w Barakah', meaning 'generosity and blessings'. 

In partnership with the Ministry of Public Work, du has launched a fundraising campaign this month to contribute to the Ministry's ongoing home renovation campaign.

Money raised throughout the campaign will help to rebuild and renovate homes for Emiratis across the UAE. 

Since its inception, du has played a proactive role during Ramadan through its various activities such as Mawaed Al Rahman - distributing hundreds of thousands of nutritious meals to those in need during the Holy Month of Ramadan. 

This year too, the telecom will disperse over 150,000 meals in five locations across the UAE – Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah and, in partnership with the Khalifa Bin Zayed Humanitarian Foundation, Al Ain. 

du employees are actively engaged in volunteering for the distribution; customers and members of the public can also participate.
