SCI introduces 'Dathironi' to confront the severe winter

The initiative aims to protect more than 7,000 beneficiaries from the two countries from frost and severe cold by distributing heavy clothing and blankets, in addition to various heating methods, and to provide them with the means to protect them from the harsh winter cold.

Abdullah Sultan bin Khadim, Executive Director of Sharjah Charity International, said: “There is no doubt that this initiative, which came with generous support from Dubai Islamic Bank, expresses the value of joint work and its impact on charitable work and achieving the welfare of beneficiaries. We are aware of the humanitarian role played by the Islamic Bank in supporting the SCI’s projects through many windows, most notably supporting the Zakat Al Mal project, in addition to launching joint initiatives inside and outside the country within the framework of social responsibility.”

Bin Khadim pointed out that the initiative embodied the SCI’s goals and vision in ensuring leadership in humanitarian aid programs, as the Sharjah Charity’s delegations toured remote areas and met with beneficiaries who find no refuge from the harsh winter cold in those areas where temperatures drop to very low levels, and provided them with reassurance by providing the necessary heating means. During the visit, the delegation met with several officials in the two countries who praised the initiative and its impact in providing winter needs for the beneficiaries. Bin Khadim sincerely thanks Dubai Islamic Bank for its generous support and noble humanitarian initiatives that contribute to advancing charitable work.

Dubai Islamic Bank management acknowledged the significance of supporting humanitarian initiatives aimed at improving the lives of individuals in need worldwide, particularly in areas affected by severe climatic conditions. In collaboration with the SCI, the bank launched the “Dathironi” initiative, which provided heating materials to residents of Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina to assist them during the winter season. This initiative exemplifies a partnership model between financial institutions and charitable organizations focused on achieving humanitarian objectives. The bank indicated ongoing support for similar campaigns in the future to assist those in need globally.
