Imdaad announces support to Dubai Autism Centre

FM leader to provide free services and consultations to DAC

Imdaad, a leading integrated facilities management company in the UAE, has announced its support to Dubai Autism Centre (DAC) through providing free maintenance services at all its facilities.

A Memorandum of Understanding was signed between Imdaad and DAC, according to which the company will provide consultation on all aspects of facilities management, energy saving practices, recycling and environment-friendly operations at the Centre.

Jamal Abdullah Lootah, Chief Executive Officer, Imdaad, said:
“The MoU is a reflection of Imdaad’s commitment to social welfare initiatives. Dubai Autism Centre has been doing pioneering work in helping and rehabilitating autistic children so that they can be effectively integrated into the community at large. It is an honour for Imdaad to be associated with an organisation that is engaged in such a noble mission.”

Mohammed Al Emadi, Director General, Dubai Autism Centre, said:
“We thank Imdaad for their continuous support to Dubai Autism Centre and believe their gesture will inspire more companies in the UAE to come forward to help us in our cause. The children at Dubai Autism Centre are in need of constant care and attention that can only be delivered through community initiatives.”

Founded in November 2001, the Dubai Autism Centre is a non-profit organisation providing various services to children with Autism, the most common condition in a group of developmental disorders known as the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs).
