DEWA empowers the differently-abled

Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) annually organises a series of events and activities to invest young people and People of Determination's (POD) time during the summer vacation by enhancing their theoretical and practical skills in sustainability, artificial intelligence, robotics, engineering, science and mathematics.

The programmes promote teamwork and responsibility and strengthen national identity and noble Emirati values. These include the Summer Camp for People of Determination, orphans and employees’ children, ‘Future Engineer’ camps, and in-person and virtual awareness lectures in collaboration with government and private entities across the UAE and Dubai. These support DEWA's wider community outreach efforts to engage all members of society in improving electricity and water consumption efficiency and preserving natural resources.

The programme includes a wide range of workshops, activities, educational field visits and awareness sessions at some of Dubai's most prominent landmarks, offering participants firsthand insights into pioneering real-life experiences.

Within an inclusive edutainment environment, the initiatives contribute to instilling innovation and creativity among the younger generation, building students’ personalities by creating spaces for interaction, developing communication skills and raising awareness of sustainability and the protection of the environment and natural resources.
