Our history

How the association grew from a founding mandate into the consultation, training and partnership work it runs today.

Our background

Where we came from, and what has never changed.

The association was established as a civil society organisation to protect children's rights across the Emirates. What it offers has widened over the years — consultation, training, awareness, partnership — but the mandate behind it has not moved.

Every milestone below is part of the same work: making sure a child at risk meets a specialist, and a family asking for help finds one.

About the association
  1. 01

    Foundation

    The association was established with a single mandate: to protect children across the Emirates and to support the families around them.

  2. 02

    Specialised consultation

    Consultation became the association's front door — a specialist a family can reach directly, with nothing they say leaving the person handling their case.

  3. 03

    Professional training

    Training was added for the people who meet a child first: teachers, social workers, medical staff and police, all working to one documented standard.

  4. 04

    Partnership

    Child protection is shared work, not the responsibility of one body alone. The association's reach widened into partnership with national institutions, community initiatives and volunteering.

  5. 05

    Looking ahead

    This portal now brings consultation, training, membership and request tracking into one place, so a request can be followed from intake to outcome.
