Dalma Mall in association with Zayed Higher Organization for Humanitarian Care & Special Needs organized a CSR activity for Children with Autism

As much as an organization’s business efforts define its quality and stand for its stellar capacity as a key driver of the economy, their CSR choices become as much a relevant focal point for its standing in society. For Dalma Mall, its commitment to children with Autism remains a significant element in its CSR policies.

As part of this commitment, Mr. Hussein Ali Ahmad, Marketing Manager and Ms. Aysha Al Mazrouei, the Government and Public Relations Manager visited the Autism Section of the Zayed Higher Organization for Humanitarian Care & Special Needs Centre and distributed Apple iPad minis, goodie bags with Dalma Mall branded items such as pens, notebooks and calendars to the children in the Centre. The representatives also attended a lecture about Autism.

Speaking about the collaborative initiative, Ms. Aysha Al Mazrouei, the Government and Public Relations Manager said, “It is important to give back to society in every way that we can. However, in order to do so, it is equally important to remain informed and to take informed decisions. To this end, the exchange at the Zayed Higher Organisation for Humanitarian Care and Special Needs Centre was not only a fulfilling experience whereby the children themselves had a good time with presents, but also a very important session for the representatives who are now equipped with the information they need”.

“The true pursuit of a cause and responses to a cause really lies in well-informed decision making. We are thankful to the Organisation for the collaboration and for the lecture that painstakingly helped put things in perspective.” she added.

At Dalma Mall, the focus on the CSR is not ancillary to the main aims, but rather, one of the core values that form a large part of Dalma Mall’s overarching mission and philosophy. The initiative is driven by the need to support and serve the community not only inside the mall but also outside it.  Dalma Mall believes firmly in the fact that we are all a part of this community and society and we consider ourselves responsible for its development, care and well being.

Dalma Mall has the distinction of being a hotspot for shopping and culinary adventures in Abu Dhabi. Recently, in an extension of its Corporate Social Responsibility, Dalma Mall tied up with the Gulf Autism Centre to make a fantastic day of fun and games a reality for children with Autism, their teachers and their guardians. Over fifty special children from the Gulf Autism Centre attended the McDonald’s Fun Day at Dalma Mall, together with the respective teachers and guardians in tow.
