What is the UAE Year of Giving?
It was announced in December 2016 by His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, that for our proud nation, 2017 would be
the Year of Giving. This year would be inspired by the giving nature of our founding father, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. Giving is preserved in our
policies and our leadership style to this day, which ensures that Emiratis remain virtuous and principled, always looking to help those less fortunate, and to
offer their help wherever they can. 2017 is the year that preserves this legacy, and reminds us all of the importance of giving.
