Sharjah24: As part of its ongoing efforts to promote community awareness and social solidarity, the Sharjah Social Empowerment Foundation (SSEF) organised an awareness tour to introduce its endowment project, “Neighbours of the Prophet” (Jiran Al Nabi), at the Sharjah Traffic and Licensing Services Centre. The initiative, carried out in cooperation with the Sharjah Police General Command, is part of a series of outreach visits across government and private entities nationwide to promote the culture of endowment (waqf) and strengthen the spirit of community giving.

Raising awareness of humanitarian endowments

The tour aimed to inform police staff and visitors about the objectives of the “Neighbours of the Prophet” endowment project, which supports orphans and their families through sustainable development initiatives. These include the construction of endowment buildings whose revenues fund education, healthcare, housing, and social welfare programmes for children under the Foundation’s care.

Strengthening the culture of giving and cooperation

Amina Al Hashimi, the Director of Corporate Communications at SSEF, emphasised the importance of these awareness tours in spreading the message of endowment and involving various sectors in community participation. She explained that the “Neighbours of the Prophet” initiative acts as a development pillar, empowering orphans through projects that ensure educational, health, and social stability, reflecting the Foundation’s mission to build sustainable futures for coming generations.

Sharjah Police commends SSEF’s efforts

Colonel Mohamed Ahmed Al Mahrazi, Head of the Vehicles and Drivers Licensing Department at Sharjah Police, praised SSEF’s efforts in launching the endowment project and commended its role in promoting humanitarian and social initiatives. He affirmed the police’s commitment to collaborating with community organisations to uphold the values of compassion, solidarity, and generosity across society.

Expanding outreach and sustainable support

SSEF continues to organise similar awareness visits across the UAE to improve community understanding of the social and developmental role of endowments, and to encourage public and institutional support for orphans and their families. Through these initiatives, the Foundation aims to strengthen the sustainability of its charitable mission and increase the impact of endowment-based social empowerment.
