Dubai-based retailer Union Coop has inked a Memorandum of Understanding with the Dubai Women’s Association to support its initiative Our Challenges Make the Difference.
The initiative aims to train and qualify people from the category of ‘People of Determination’, especially those with intellectual challenges, to develop their ideas.
Subsequently, it aims to integrate them into society and help them obtain suitable employment per their abilities.
Managing director of Union Coop, Abdulla Mohammad Rafie Al Dallal, said: “Through our support to Dubai Women Association, we aim to provide a suitable environment and care to the people with special needs, fulfil our commitment to support public welfare institutions and help in the development of an infrastructure that meets the aspirations of the wise leadership to reach number one position.
“It is worth noting that the Union Coop collaborates and works hand in hand with numerous governmental and private institutions, as part of its strategy to serve the community.”
In May, the retailer signed a MoU with ‘Emirates Nature-WWF‘ in cooperation with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), an international environmental non-profit organisation.
Director of Dubai Women’s Association, Al Khawaneej Branch, Dubai, Fatima Ahmed Al Abdullah, said: “The signing of the MoU came through our agreement with Union Coop, on focusing towards the ‘People of Determination’ segment, which is the core of the society.
“It is all about raising the man of the future with apt leadership qualities, in line with the vision of our wise government and our young nation.”
