About

During the holy month of Ramadan ne’ma will host two special Al Fina’a gatherings during the holy month. These events will bring together our valued community of stakeholders, partners, and volunteers to reflect, connect, and contribute to a meaningful cause.

Inspired by the Emirati majlis, Al Fina’a is a space for dialogue across generations, where traditions are honored and collective responsibility is reinforced. In this Year of the Community, these gatherings will offer an opportunity for open conversations through the Al Fina’a Community Talk, led by respected community youth and elders. Together, we will discuss the importance of mindfulness—how every generation holds wisdom on valuing food and ensuring it is not wasted.

Following this discussion, participants will be invited to pack iftar boxes that will be distributed to people in need. The Family Iftar Box program, in partnership with TAKATOF, is an essential activation of ne’ma’s Valuing Our Roots Ramadan campaign. This initiative reflects the enduring traditions that respect food as a blessing

We welcome you to join us:
