DUBAI: The Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department (IACAD) has announced the launch of a new community initiative called ‘Lammt al-Freij,’ which means (Neighbourhood gathering) aimed at supporting the role of Emirati women in entrepreneurship.

The initiative invites participation of youth projects, providing the necessary support for them to launch and develop their own projects.

The initiative focuses on the optimal utilisation of IACAD’s centres to serve the community by providing a conducive environment that allows female entrepreneurs to meet and work on their projects and studies.

This environment will offer all the necessary comfort and support to empower them to develop their projects and increase their impact in the community.
