Dubai: As the new academic year approaches, Dubai Cares has launched an initiative to distribute 10,000 free school bags to underprivileged students across the UAE. The campaign, held in partnership with Aldar Properties, is part of the nationwide “Year of Community” celebrations.
Each school bag will include essential supplies such as notebooks, pens, pencils, and water bottles. More than 450 volunteers are leading the distribution drive, according to Dubai Cares Chief Operating Officer, Abdulla Ahmed Al Shehhi. He noted that the success of the initiative reflects the generous support of Aldar Properties and other partners.
