This year, we have renewed our partnership with Dubai Center for Special Needs (DCSN), a charitable non - profit organization welcoming approximately 140 children, aged between 3 years and 27 years, with various disabilities and handicaps. Its aim is to provide each and every one of the children specialized education and therapy, and to promote their inclusion and autonomy.
DCSN is a non profit organization located in Dubai, relying on 30% government grant, on private or corporate sponsorships and donations for the rest. Sponsorship is the hardest challenge since the Center welcomes children even if the parents are unable to pay the fees.
For 3 years now, Societe Generale Dubai is sponsoring a young boy's scholarship, Mohammed SAAD (picture below) , donating the amount to cover his education. Saad is 14 years old, and has been diagnosed with athetoid cerebral palsy.
During the Citizenship week we will launch a series of initiatives with aim to engaged all employees in daily activities and raise additional funds for the center.
