Operation Smile
Operation Smile is an international charity which provides free surgery for children born with facial deformities such as cleft lip and cleft palate. Many of these children never reach their first birthday due to lack of nourishment because of the difficulties they incur in eating and drinking. Every 3 minutes, it is estimated that a child is born with a cleft lip or cleft palate. One in 10 children born with a cleft die before their first birthday. Children born with clefts are often unable to eat, speak, socialize or smile. With the help of medical volunteers and generous supporters, Operation Smile provides free surgeries for children around the world to heal their smiles and transform their lives. In as little as 45 minutes and for as little as 880 AED , Operation Smile can provide a life-changing surgery for a child in need. Since 1982, Operation Smile has given new smiles and new lives to 160,000 children in over 60 countries

Ewa'a Shelters for Women and Children
Every human being has the right to live freely and with dignity. It is a natural right offered by Allah to all humans without exception or discrimination. On the basis this deep-rooted belief, we, in the Refugee Centre for Women and Child Victims of Human Trafficking and Sexual Exploitation, try to bring smiles back to victims’ faces and revive their sense of dignity. Retrieving smiles means rebuilding components of the victims’ lives before they rejoin society afresh. It also means that they become strong, able to be rehabilitated and develop themselves and their surrounding environment.

The right to life is the most fundamental right. AlRahma above all values life big and small. We heal and nourish life and care for those who cannot care for themselves. From a horse to a little bunny, nothing is too small to deserve our attention. The right to life is not granted only to humankind by God. What sets us apart from many organizations in Animal Welfare of our times is that we do recognize this right for the animal kind. We do not kill animals because we don’t have the space to take care of them, or because they don’t look good enough to be adopted. We do however euthanize animals only if they are irremediably ill or suffering.

Animal Welfare Al Ain
Animal Welfare Al Ain is a non-profit organisation dedicated to improving the welfare of animals in Al Ain.
We rely on volunteers and the generosity of the community to carry out our work. We are a member society of WSPA (World Society for the Protection of Animals) and we are also a member of MENAW (Middle East Network for Animal Welfare). In addition, we work in cooperation with other animal welfare groups in the region. If it is not possible for you to adopt an animal then you could foster a cat or dog for a short period of time until the animal is permanently homed. It may be a few weeks, six months or longer. It depends on each individual case and how quickly someone offers to adopt. We often have female street cats which need to be kept inside after they have been spayed before they go back on the street. They need about 4 – 5 days recuperation time to be sure that there are no complications from the spaying. -
