Municipality highlights support for families and children

Talib Abdullah Al Yahyai, Director of Dibba Al Hisn Municipality, said the event reflects the Year of the Family initiative announced by UAE President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. He also noted that it coincides with Sharjah receiving renewed recognition as a Child Friendly City from UNICEF under the leadership of His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah.

Al Yahyai said the recognition reflects the strong commitment shown by both the UAE and the Emirate of Sharjah towards supporting families and children and creating a sustainable, supportive social environment.

He added that organising the “Together We Build a Connected Family” event demonstrates the municipality’s commitment to strengthening family ties and promoting social solidarity, stressing that the family remains the solid foundation of a cohesive and prosperous society.
