Dubai Foundation for Women and Children (DFWAC) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Dubai’s Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) to strengthen cooperation.
The MoU also intends to reinforce their strategic partnership in supporting families and students across the Emirates.
The DFWAC and Dubai KHDA agreement aligns with the ‘Year of the Family’, the Dubai Social Agenda 33, and Dubai’s Education 33 Strategy, contributing to a stable family environment and the development of a balanced generation.
The partnership will focus on raising community awareness through joint programs that support parents in child upbringing, promote children’s mental and social well-being, and contribute to their academic development.

Under the agreement, both parties will implement awareness initiatives for parents, including lectures and workshops on positive parenting, prevention of negative behaviors, and effective communication with children. The MoU also includes coordinated follow-up of shared cases in line with approved specializations to ensure a timely response.
KHDA will implement activities through its educational and community channels in schools, while DFWAC will provide specialized support through its qualified professionals and accredited experts, enhancing the quality and impact of the programs.
