Initiative aims to have a positive impact on UAE society on the occasion of Zayed Humanitarian Day
EWEC (Emirates Water and Electricity Company), a leading company in the integrated coordination of planning, purchasing, and supply of water and electricity across the UAE, today announced the donation of 2,000 Iftar meals to UAE community members in collaboration with Emirates Red Crescent on the occasion of Zayed Humanitarian Day and the Holy Month of Ramadan.
EWEC’s initiative, aligned with its key value of sustainability, seeks to improve lives and deploy the necessary resources and capacities to help those in need and create a long-lasting positive impact on UAE society. As a part of the initiative, EWEC colleagues have volunteered to distribute the meals at various locations within Abu Dhabi.

Inspired by the humanitarian and philanthropic legacy of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, may God rest his soul, EWEC’s social initiatives are a key element of our values that support us in enabling positive change in society and doing the right thing for tomorrow’s world. We hope that our contribution encourages more people across the UAE to embrace the spirit of giving during Ramadan and help those who are less fortunate.”
