In a move to enhance community welfare and support systems, the Sharjah Social Services Department (SSSD) has officially licensed 32 new social centers across the emirate. The initiative reflects the department’s commitment to expanding social care infrastructure while adhering to international standards aligned with local laws and cultural values.
Enhancing Social Welfare
The newly licensed centers will provide a wide range of services, including:
Family counseling and support
Elderly care and rehabilitation
Child protection and development programs
Services for people of determination
Each facility has been evaluated for compliance with global best practices and Sharjah’s regulatory frameworks.
A Step Towards Sustainable Social Development
“This licencing reflects our strategic vision of providing safe, accessible, and high-quality social services that meet the needs of every member of the community,” according to a senior SSSD employee.
Expanding Network of Support
The installation of these 32 centres enhances Sharjah’s status as a regional leader in social care while also contributing to the city’s overarching goals of social sustainability, inclusivity, and community resilience.
Residents may now access additional services closer to their homes, ensuring that social support is proactive rather than reactive.
