(MENAFN- Emirates News Agency (WAM)) Dar Al Ber Society, as part of its Ramadan projects for 2015, has launched its Zakat Al Mal or 'Money Alms' drive, to collect and contribute charity contributions to eligible people.
The project is meant to bring happiness to vulnerable people, ease their suffering, and meet their necessary needs during the Holy Month of Ramadan, and to give them clothes and gifts at Eid Al Fitr.
The 36-year-old association has initiated the 'Money Alms' campaign this year under the theme, 'Contribution quite changes their life', to urge national and foreign philanthropists in the UAE to show compassion to disadvantaged orphans, as well as poor, needy and low-income families during the blessed days of Ramadan. Only eligible people are given maintenance allowance based on social studies conducted by competent experts and social workers at different branches of the society.
The Dar Al Ber Society has earmarked a budget of over AED6.5 million for the Ramadan seasonal campaign, which spans a variety of schemes, including Iftar meals, Eid Al Fitr clothes, Zakat Al Fitr, and general charity.
The society has adopted an integrated plan that comprises diverse programmes to suit targeted segments of society. The campaign will kick off at all branches of the society in the emirates of Dubai, Ajman, Umm Al Qaiwain, and Ras al-Khaimah. The campaign is also promoted on all mass media and social websites.
Dar Al Ber distributed AED71 million to 16,186 families in need across the country in 2014, compared to AED66 million in 2013.
