Hana Saif Al Suwaidi, stated: "The remarkable local and global achievements of the project embody the directives of His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, in prioritizing the care for people with mobility impairments, supporting their capabilities, highlighting their abilities, and facilitating their participation in various social activities."
The Sharjah Safari represents an ideal and appropriate environment that caters to the mobility needs of people with disabilities. It is committed to implementing all local and international environmental standards specifically designed for individuals with disabilities. At the same time, the project focuses on providing necessary training for staff to interact with this important segment and harnessing all the capabilities and facilities that make their experience easy and safe.
The EPAA, through the project, ensures the application of the International Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and translates its provisions by enhancing and developing services provided to individuals with disabilities in all facilities and environments within the Sharjah Safari. This includes the suitability of construction design for these facilities, their vitality, the provisions of facilities and services, as well as social empowerment. This contributes to enhancing the project's contribution to achieving the targets of social integration for people with disabilities and encouraging their participation with the rest of the community in all recreational, tourist, and social activities and events.
