In-kind aid project for students 2012
The project to support education with in-kind assistance, which is implemented by the Foundation, has achieved remarkable success in the local arena, as the number of those to whom the Foundation has provided in-kind assistance during the past five years has reached about 130,000 students in more than 700 schools nationwide with the aim of improving their financial conditions and creating the atmosphere to double their efforts and increase Their educational attainment.During the current academic year 2012-2013, the Foundation provided in-kind assistance and a daily stipend for 22,850 male and female students all over the country.The project, which was launched by the Foundation for the fifth consecutive time, came as a commitment to help students overcome some of the financial obstacles that sometimes prevent some of them from pursuing educational achievement in a psychologically comfortable environment, especially in light of the stressful economic and social conditions that are increasingly difficult year after year.The Foundation selects the cases benefiting from this project through specific controls in cooperation with the Ministry of Education, educational councils and districts, so that the focus is on orphans and people with limited income or children of prisoners, divorced women and abandoned women. The student covered by the aid project benefits from six purchase vouchers, whereby he receives a school uniform, formal shoes, sports and stationery, in addition to five dirhams as a daily expense.About a thousand students in the UAE universities also benefited from the support project through coupons in addition to pocket money for each student, and the Foundation almost completed a project dedicated to caring for orphan students who deserve support, and the project is concerned with providing all livelihoods for them. Education is one of the main pillars in the strategy of the Khalifa Foundation, locally and internationally, to achieve equal opportunities for all students, especially those with limited income and economic and humanitarian situations, and to help them provide everything they need.National institutions support programs and projects of the Khalifa Foundation, as the Foundation has received support from ADNOC, National Bank of Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi Fund for Development and Dubai Islamic Humanitarian Foundation ... and that is within the framework of cooperation, coordination and community partnership between national institutions in the country. Within the framework of the Foundation's encouragement for the contributors to the success of the education support project in the country, the Khalifa Humanitarian Foundation held six ceremonies during the year during which it honored many of these 1,180 contributors who worked hard and sincerely to make the largest humanitarian project in the education sector sponsored by the Foundation succeed.
