Dubai Customs has concluded its series of community and humanitarian initiatives during the holy month of Ramadan, reaffirming its strong commitment to supporting the values of solidarity and compassion while enhancing quality of life, in line with Dubai’s vision of institutionalizing sustainable humanitarian work.
This year’s Ramadan initiatives saw broad participation from various segments of society, reflecting the organization’s active presence beyond its core customs operations.
Dubai Customs and DP World tents at Port Rashid and the Hatta border crossing witnessed significant turnout, with approximately 144,000 beneficiaries receiving daily iftar meals. The initiative aimed to support fasting individuals and strengthen community bonds during the holy month.
Meanwhile, the “Sawa’ed Al-Furdah” initiative continued its volunteer efforts by distributing iftar meals (fast-breaking meals) to motorists at key locations, reaching 50,000 beneficiaries, demonstrating the spirit of giving and social responsibility among the organization’s employees. In the same context, the Ramadan Food Basket initiative, carried out in collaboration with Dubai Charity Association, supported 1,000 underprivileged families, further expanding the organization’s humanitarian outreach during the holy month and reaffirming its ongoing commitment to supporting the community through integrated programs that meet the needs of diverse segments.
On the awareness front, Dubai Customs organized a series of religious lectures attended by 350 participants, covering religious and social topics aimed at raising awareness and promoting positive values among employees and the wider community.
These initiatives were carried out in collaboration with several supporting entities, including the Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department in Dubai, Dubai Charity Association, DP World Foundation, Hotpack, and SAM Precious Metals, reflecting strong cooperation between the public and private sectors in serving the community during Ramadan.
Dubai Customs emphasized that its Ramadan initiatives are part of a broader institutional approach that reinforces its humanitarian and social role, strengthening its position as a leading government entity whose responsibilities extend beyond facilitating trade and protecting borders to contributing to a cohesive and compassionate society, in line with Dubai’s vision of enhancing quality of life and promoting a culture of giving.
