Tarahem Charity Foundation has donated 2 million dirhams in support of the " Yaak Al-Awn 6 " initiative, which is enough to release 23 Emiratis who are financially distressed and facing legal prosecution. The initiative, which is adopted by "Emirates Today," Dubai Courts, and The Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department in Dubai, aims to release 212 citizens in Dubai who are financially distressed and legally pursued, with financial cases against them. The initiative aims to settle their debts, amounting to 20 million AED, to reunite them with their families before Eid al-Fitr.
Emirates Today was provided with the number of financially distressed citizens after their cases were reviewed and approved by the "Courts of Goodness" Committee in Dubai Courts. The "Courts of Goodness" committee conducted settlements for the beneficiaries of the initiative with creditors, successfully reducing the debts from 38,381,597 dirhams to 20 million dirhams.
