Empowering Potential: Abu Dhabi’s Holistic Approach for People of Determination

Mon, Oct 19, 2026(1d ago)UAE

Abu Dhabi has cultivated a comprehensive support system through the Zayed Higher Organisation, ensuring that People of Determination receive tailored care from infancy through adulthood. By partnering with health authorities, the organization initiates support as early as eight months old, offering specialized speech and occupational therapies. As children grow, they are guided through a structured educational path that includes integration into mainstream schools or specialized centers, depending on their individual requirements. By age 15, the focus shifts toward vocational training, allowing students to explore trades like carpentry, agriculture, and sewing to identify their professional passions.

This journey goes far beyond basic education, as the organization actively bridges the gap between skill-building and real-world employment. After completing a robust training curriculum, individuals are supported in securing roles within government and private sectors, while others are encouraged to pursue entrepreneurship. A prime example is Emirati entrepreneur Sultan Al Suwaidi, who successfully launched his own brand, "Hemmah Cookies." His venture illustrates how People of Determination are transforming their unique talents into thriving businesses, contributing meaningfully to the national economy while showcasing their creativity and determination on a larger stage.
