Dubai Investments has supported a social programme for women of determination, a year-long calendar of events and activities that will enable and empower individuals and their families, and promote greater social inclusion within the wider community.
Dubai Investments provided support for the special 12-month programme, developed by Kalimati Communication and Rehabilitation Centre, which will provide a sustained focus on social and vocational skills, recreational activities and events that will build skill
sets, increase physical fitness and confidence.
The programme, led by a behaviour therapist, will concentrate on a number of key areas of development, including vocational activities such as crafts, cooking, arts and gardening – all vital skills that will be learned in a safe and supportive social environment which will encourage greater connections and independence.
Specific strategies will also be implemented to build social skills and enhance social interactions, and a workshop is being held with familes to identify interests and abilities of all members of the group.
The women of determination interacted with the team from Dubai Investments. Several joint activities took place like Arts and Live Soap Making. Ghaf Tree planting ceremony was also held to represent the tolerance of this programme.
