FOCP, a UAE-based non-profit organization dedicated to supporting cancer patients and their families in the UAE, urges everyone to participate in the campaign and contribute generously to help cancer patients and their families during Ramadan.
The campaign focuses on three main pillars: addressing the psychological fear associated with cancer, correcting misconceptions about the disease and highlighting the transformative impact of Zakat donations.
Aisha Abdulla Al Mulla, director of FOCP, highlighted that the annual campaign aligns with the association’s commitment to mobilize the community against cancer. In addition to the support and care provided to patients and their families, it also plays a crucial role in raising awareness about the disease, underlining the critical importance of early detection to mitigate suffering and save lives.
Al Mulla highlighted the unwavering dedication of the Emirati community to transform its noble values and rich cultural heritage into comprehensive support for those fighting cancer.
“This year, our ambition is to not only meet, but exceed the milestones set in 2023 in terms of donation volume and number of patients we reach out to support. Our faith lies in the strength of the UAE community (individuals, institutions, citizens and residents alike) who have always been an integral part of our journey,” he said.
In 2023, the Zakat Campaign raised more than Dh5.1 million, benefiting approximately 100 patients.
