Kalimat empowers Gazan kids in Abu Dhabi with 400 books

As part of its efforts to empower underprivileged children and uphold their right to read, and in line with UAE “Reading Month,” Kalimat Foundation, a UAE-based non-profit organisation, has donated 400 Arabic-language books to Palestinian children residing in Emirates Humanitarian City (EHC) in Abu Dhabi.

This donation took place during a visit to the city, led by Sheikha Lubna Bint Khalid Al Qasimi, former Minister and Vice President of Kalimat Foundation Board of Trustees, where she was hosted by Mubarak Falah Al Gahtani, the official spokesperson for Emirates Humanitarian City, in the presence of Amna Al Mazmi, Director of Kalimat Foundation, members of the foundation's team, and representatives from Multiply Group, the Abu Dhabi-based investment holding company that generously funded the donation.

The donation falls under the ‘Pledge a Library’ initiative, which seeks to ensure children’s access to knowledge and support their educational journey. As part of this initiative, portable libraries filled with a variety of books catering to different age groups were donated, alongside the organisation of engaging activities that included interactive workshops, recreational events, and cultural sessions.

The visit welcomed 50 children aged 6 to 10, aiming to instil a love for reading and foster their intellectual and cultural development.
