A delegation from Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has visited remote villages in Egypt where it distributed Motorcycle Rickshaws to several families with limited income or experiencing tough health and living conditions. Beneficiaries were selected in coordination with the Islamic Charitable Society in Egypt.
The visitors have also opened two classes for teaching Arabic language and other academic subjects. They also distributed school bags and stationaries to about 400 students as part of the initiative of RTA Foundation that was launched last year in reply to the ‘Year of Giving’ initiative and the continuation of its activities that go with the ‘Year of Zayed’ 2018.
The delegation comprised of Mohammed Obaid Al Mulla, Board Member and Chairman of the Higher Committee of RTA Foundation, Dr. Yousef Al Ali, CEO of Dubai Taxi Corporation and Vice Chairman of the Higher Committee of RTA Charity Foundation and Ms. Rowdah Al Mahrizi, Deputy Director of Marketing & Corporate Communication, Senior Manager of Corporate & Social Responsibility and Member of Higher Committee of RTA Foundation.
“The visit of RTA’s delegation to remote villages in Al Dakahliya Governorate of Egypt stems from historical relations between the two countries and the government directives to give a helping hand to countries in need around the world, and to nurture humanitarian and charitable values via RTA Foundation,” said Mohammed Obaid Al Mulla.
“The provision of these mobility means to low-income families in coordination with the Islamic Charitable Society in Egypt will help those families develop a source of income to cope with living requirements. The distribution of school items to 400 students will help them realise their ambitions. Two classes were opened to accommodate a large number of students. RTA delegation also visited the specialist medical centre established by the UAE to assess the future needs of the center and children.
“Through its Foundation, RTA is making every effort to help the largest possible number of needy people locally or abroad. The agenda of RTA strives to meet the needs of the local, regional and international community at all levels,” added Al Mulla.
