In the Year of Community, we congratulate Emirati women for their giving and dedication to consolidating the values of society, protecting the family and preparing responsible generations capable of advancing the prosperity of both country and society,” said HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA).
