ABU DHABI, 24th February, 2017 (WAM) – The Zayed Authority for People of Determination, in cooperation with the Abu Dhabi Councils in the Office of Citizens and Community Affairs at the Presidential Office, yesterday opened the Ramadan Bazaar for products for People of Determination under the slogan “With the Family towards Empowerment and Inclusion,” which will continue until the first of next March at the Qurum District Council in Abu Dhabi, as part of the initiatives of the Year of the Family 2026, and based on the Authority’s strategy for community and economic empowerment.

The initiative is a practical translation of the Authority’s objectives in supporting people of determination and their families, empowering small projects, and enhancing community participation, as a sustainable model that can be repeated annually, and reflects an integrated vision that makes the family a pivotal partner in the development process.

The bazaar embodies a national platform that promotes the economic and social empowerment of people of determination and their families, supports small projects and productive families, and displays distinguished products that compete in quality with the best markets within a Ramadan atmosphere that embodies the values ​​of cohesion and solidarity.

Sales and interaction activities begin daily after Tarawih prayers with the participation of the Innovation Center in Al Bahia, vocational rehabilitation workshops in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, along with productive families and youth projects of people of determination, while the “Happily Ever After” company is responsible for organizing and managing the events and logistical preparations for the Ramadan bazaar.

His Excellency Abdullah Abdul-Ali Al-Humaidan, Director General of the Zayed Authority for People of Determination, confirmed that organizing the Ramadan bazaar is in line with the vision of the wise leadership to make the family the focus of development, pointing out that the initiative represents a real platform to highlight the productive capabilities of people of determination and enhance their self-confidence.

He said that what we are witnessing today in terms of innovations that are transformed into products that compete in quality and excellence is a clear message that people of determination are true partners in development, as the bazaar is not just a Ramadan event, but rather a space to highlight energies, enhance the sustainable family economy, and consolidate the concept of community integration based on efficiency and production. Hence the slogan “With the family towards empowerment and integration,” to reflect our vision of building a long-term community impact based on cohesion, giving, and confidence in capabilities.

The initiative is directly aligned with the goals of the Year of the Family 2026 by placing the family at the heart of the event through activities that strengthen the bonds between its members, empower families of people of determination economically and socially, and support productive families, which contributes to creating a sustainable societal impact that enhances awareness of the value of work and production.

It is expected that the bazaar will contribute to enhancing the income of the participants, raising the spirit of competition and self-esteem among them and their families, in addition to expanding the circle of community awareness of the capabilities and talents of people of determination, emphasizing their vital role in building a more comprehensive and cohesive society.

For their part, the People of Determination and their parents, who are exhibiting their products in the bazaar, confirmed in an interview with the Emirates News Agency (WAM) that this is a real opportunity to support and motivate them towards increasing productivity and enhancing their confidence, pointing out that the Zayed Authority for People of Determination always inspires them with innovative ideas to market their products, and is keen to educate them to improve their quality of life.
