David Prince, Area Vice President for Rotana commented, “Walk for Education hosted by Dubai Cares is a remarkable initiative to increase public awareness about the difficulties faced by young children to access basic education in developing countries. We are honoured to be actively associated with such initiatives that aim to bring positive change in the lives of thousands of children. As part of our CSR endeavour, we are deeply committed to improving the lives of the communities around the world, especially young children so that they can pursue quality education to break the cycle of poverty”.

In honour of ‘Year of Zayed’, Rotana aligns its integrated CSR strategies to reflect the noble objectives of the initiative, in efforts to give back to the community.
