Overview
Originated from the Emirati culture, “FAZAA” is the initiative of providing help and assistance to others. “FAZAA” is one of the most distinguished attributes that Emiratis feel proud about.
Emirati people have always striven to offer help to others in times of difficulty and prosperity to strengthen the social ties and share life events with others. The person undertaking “FAZAA” can best be characterized with altruism, generosity, courage, and philanthropy.
