UAE, Abu Dhabi, 18 May 2025 – In conjunction with International Day of Families 2025, the Family Care Authority (FCA) launched a series of interactive public activations across Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and Al Dhafra aimed at raising awareness of the social, economic and demographic issues affecting families today. The initiatives reflected FCA’s continued commitment to fostering dialogue, strengthening community ties and empowering families to face challenges with resilience and optimism.
Her Excellency Salama Al Ameemi, Director General of the Family Care Authority, took part in the community activations, designed to encourage participation and reflection. The activations were hosted at key community hubs, including Nabdh in Al Falah, Al Ain Mall and Al Dhafra Mall. Each location featured two engaging experiences. The “Wall of Wisdom” offered a space for community members to contribute handwritten notes filled with advice, reflections, and meaningful messages on family life. Alongside it, the “Dial in a Story” experience invited visitors to record personal voice messages sharing their most cherished family memories, celebrating the stories that shape and connect generations.
