Community centre to open in Hatta

A series of community initiatives has been announced by the Community Development Authority (CDA) in Hatta.

It is being done following the directives of His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to develop infrastructure in Hatta and undertake projects to meet the needs of the citizens.

Dr Maryam Mattar, Director General of the CDA, said a community centre will be opened in Hatta to attend to citizens' needs and provide different segments with the necessary social care needed, and to allow them to choose the specific social programmes they would like to benefit from.

"Setting up these community centres is an important step for CDA in its aims of attaining the goals of Dubai Strategic Plan 2015, declared by Shaikh Mohammad on February 3, 2007, which entails raising the levels of social development in Dubai and enhancing the role of UAE nationals in society, in an attempt to accomplish the key objectives of the developmental sector," she said.

The Hatta Community Centre would play a vital role in ensuring that the social care of citizens is maintained, as its services have been tailored specifically to the needs of the Hatta community, assuring residents that the initial preparations for the centre have been completed.
