We’ve seen extraordinary efforts in the UAE during the COVID-19 pandemic. Different types of projects have included raising awareness to prevent the spread of the virus, reducing the negative impacts on the community’s individuals, providing medical supplies, funding research, ensuring employees aren’t made redundant and supporting the less privileged. Knowing there are so many amazing initiatives taking place, be it the work of organisations or individuals, UNITED FOR IMPACT wants to acknowledge the stories of those who are truly doing their part during these difficult times. The project by Augmentation X, Concerto TIC, MVM & Co. and The Impact Talks puts these narratives under the spotlight and aims to inspire others to join efforts in supporting the community and driving social impact.
“At a global level, every single one of us has been impacted by this unprecedented challenge. But with it, we have also been witnessing empathy, commitment and devotion towards both humanity and societies,” Alex Gheordanescu, Founder of Augmentation X, said. “The unsung heroes of the past have been at the forefront of supporting us, restoring our health and keeping us safe. Let’s start praising all of them and also acknowledge everyone going above and beyond to make a positive impact for their communities and those affected by this crisis."
If you live in the UAE and want to share the story about how your organisation or community is helping during these difficult times, all you need to do is submit an outline of your initiative here.
Share the details about the response to the impact of the pandemic by May 20, 2020, and a team member will be in touch with you to get more details to support designing your unique story. The narration, interview and/or video will be shared on The Impact Talks website and on multiple social media channels, plus it will be communicated to UAE press members.
