Majid Harimel Al Shamsi, SEWA's Executive Director of Corporate Support, emphasized that the agency's goal is to encourage the responsible use of resources to ensure they are available for future generations, helping create a greener future.
This initiative is part of a wider effort to enhance the living standards of families, reduce their utility bills, and support sustainable development. This aligns with a recent declaration from UAE President His Highness Sheikh
Al Shamsi also mentioned that SEWA is eager to reach more families through the Home Rationalization Initiative, which was established under the guidance of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah. The program aims to upgrade homes with modern technologies that conserve electricity and water, resulting in lower utility bills and a positive impact on resource usage.
Rashid Al Marzouqi, the Director of the Media and Communications Department at SEWA, shared that the authority is committed to providing the latest technologies to help families use less energy and water. They will also educate these families on how to effectively use and care for energy-saving devices. The progress of the initiative will be regularly assessed to ensure it meets its goals.
Al Marzouqi explained that previous phases of this initiative have already benefited more than 6,353 homes. He discussed plans for this new phase, which aims to support 7,677 families eligible for financial assistance due to inflation.
The authority continues to work collaboratively to provide support for all communities, with the goal of protecting the environment, ensuring our natural resources are sustainable, and promoting best practices for conservation and responsible living to minimize waste.
