Manzil is a non-profit organisation operating under the aegis of Sharjah City for Humanitarian Services. They provide a highly professional care-giving environment for individuals for special needs to nurture their potential and develop the necessary self help, social and vocational skills which are required to function in society.

Radiant School, located in Sharjah, provides education for very low-income families. CHF has had the privilege of finishing the school playground in 2003 and providing toys for all the students that were donated by the children that attended our annual children’s parties in 2004 and 2005. As the school fees for this school remain extremely low to accommodate all needy children, Radiant School requires ongoing funding and assistance from CHF so that they can continue to provide this essential and noble service to children less fortunate.

CHF is an ongoing contributor to Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Charitable & Humanitarian Foundation’s valuable work which ranges from helping the needy, destitute, widows and orphans from different nationalities, to constructing mosques, supporting education, culture and the arts, to establishing clinics, dispensaries and rehabilitation centres in conflict areas.

CHF has been able to contribute to the construction of a new facility for the Rashid Pediatric Therapy Centre. CHF’s support of the Rashid Pediatric Therapy Centre helped towards sponsorship of an integrated learning class for children with physical difficulties following a conducive learning education model, set up in January 2004. ongoing humanitarian contributions such as ours have helped the RPTC to continue to achieve the goals it sets itself towards improving the lives of children with special needs.

CHF fully concurs with Dubai Autism Centre’s refusal to let autism have the last word in a child’s life. The DAC offers a full range of services to help diagnose more about autistic spectrum disorders, and depends on donations to discharge its responsibilities towards the cause of spreading community awareness of autism, a lifelong developmental disability, and to initiate new programmes. Its latest project supported by CHF is Early Intervention Therapy for children aged two to four years and rehabilitation services for autistic children.

The Dubai Centre for Special Needs is making strides in keeping up with the latest technology, introducing innovative teaching strategies and therapy techniques. CHF’s backing for this centre helps it to keep adding extra curricular activities for its special needs students, such as horseback riding and sailing, proving that given necessary support, the opportunities for such children are endless.

We are regular supporters of Al Noor Training Centre for Children with Special Needs which relies on fund-raising to meet the ever-increasing costs of caring for these children. The Centre serves Dubai’s multi-cultural population by providing professional and effective training programmes and helping children with special needs from infancy to functional integration into society.
