Instead, Sajwani wants to steer some of the funds under his watch into upgrades to select schools in the city. And also provide access to deserving young UAE Nationals to get the desired start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project will be supported by the CSR arm of DAMAC Group. Scholarships will be provided for Dubai-based Emirati students take care of their tuition fees, starting with the 2022-23 academic term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis was the natural extension for what we had been doing with the \u2018One Million Arab Coders Initiative\u2019,\u201d said Sajwani. \u201cDAMAC thought schooling was the best follow up we could support, if that means helping deserving UAE Nationals in their academics. Supporting education-related programmes will be one of the pillars of our CSR efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Two schools project<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The DAMAC stamp will also be felt in supporting two new schools in Mirdif and Al Barsha, which will&nbsp; provide access to affordable education. Emirati students in Dubai will get to have priority for admission in Dubai Schools and can tap into scholarships of up to 100 per cent, \u2018awarded on the basis and merit\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Mirdif and Al Barsha locations were chosen because there is always the need for more educational facilities in emerging communities,\u201d said Sajwani. \u201cAnd these schools, I will emphasise, are there to offer affordable education.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CSR is on UAE\u2019s corporate to-do list<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Corporate Social Responsibility is coming into its own in the UAE, with some of the big names focussing on the next generations and in creating jobs that will suit those who have passed out in the last two to three years. Arming young Emirati aspirants emerging from the schools and colleges with the right skillsets blends in with what\u2019s needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCSR initiatives is about sustaining the efforts put in by the government, and we will play its full part in this,\u201d said Sajwani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">STARTING ON THAT \u2018FRESH SLATE\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In another of its 2022 CSR pushes,&nbsp; DAMAC has launched a \u2018Fresh Slate\u2019 initiative in collaboration with Dubai Police General Headquarters. This is aimed at aiding detainees in Dubai\u2019s punitive and correctional institutions charged with petty offences receive a \u2018second chance at life\u2019. The DAMAC Foundation has marked Dh2 million for the project, which enabled the release of detainees during this year\u2019s Eid Al Fitr and Eid Al Adha.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source:&nbsp;Gulf News Dubai: Hussain Sajwani is giving schools in Dubai his undivided attention.
