Back in May 2006, Mohamed Ali Al Hashimi read several articles highlighting autism and its prevalence in the UAE. One thing he noted was the lack of support for children afflicted with this disorder. Mr. Al Hashimi immediately set about arranging for AED 500,000 to be donated to the Dubai Autism Centre to help them expand their existing services, and to allow them to offer more places for autistic children.
Realising that Zabeel Investments needed to do more than just donate money, Al Hashimi charged the Zabeel marketing team with devising a strategy to help the Centre raise more awareness. This directive saw the birth of the Together Again campaign, which ran throughout April 2007, educating the public on Autism and helping to raise funds so that the Centre can move in to a new state-of-the-art facility in Garhoud. The campaign saw AED 1.1 million raised during the month, with more funds continuing to come in.
Zabeel is committed to its support for the Dubai Autism Centre, and continues to use various areas of its business to aid the Centre in its objectives.
