A generous donor paid AED 17,200 in outstanding tuition fees for three sisters in coordination with IACAD and "Hotline"

A generous donor covered AED 17,274 of the outstanding tuition fees for the three sisters (Sama), (Huda), and (Jana), allowing them to resume their studies this year after their family was unable to pay the amount due to difficult financial circumstances.

Coordination took place between the donor and the Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department in Dubai through the "Hotline" to transfer the donation to the relevant authorities, enabling the three girls to return to their studies and continue their education.

(Abu Sama) expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the donor for this humanitarian initiative, which came at a critical time. He emphasized that such acts of kindness are not uncommon for the Emirati people, who always rally to help in such situations.

On February 17, Emirates Today had published the story of (Abu Sama)'s struggle to pay the school fees for his three daughters, which led to their suspension from school this year. In his account, (Abu Sama) shared the details of his hardship, explaining that he had worked for over 25 years in various sectors, earning a monthly salary of AED 6,000, which allowed him to provide a stable life for his family. His wife, an Arabic teacher, earned a monthly salary of AED 4,000 .

However, three years ago, the company he worked for faced financial losses and shut down, resulting in the loss of his job. This left the financial responsibility entirely on his wife. In August of last year, his wife was also terminated from the private school where she worked, leaving the family in an extremely difficult situation. Despite their continuous efforts to find new job opportunities, they were unable to meet their financial needs or pay the school fees.
