KASHKHA, a leading modest fashion brand, and the Fujairah Social and Cultural Association, have joined hands to recognise and honour women who are making a valuable contribution to the economy and the country. These are women who are playing a remarkable role in the UAE society be it in the field of culture, sports, environment, healthcare, human welfare, public life, art or literature.

Mr. Khaled Aldhanhani, Chairman of Fujairah Social and Cultural Association, stated, “We are proud of these inspiring women who are special in every way. They have pushed boundaries to reach new heights in their careers while making a difference to communities and people around them. They have boldly forged their way to the top of their industries and have made their mark as pioneers and role models.”

Highlighting the significance of the award, the Kashkha Management, said, “The UAE is home to hugely talented and successful women who not only work in demanding roles but often juggle enormous responsibilities while extending support to social and humanitarian causes. The Fujairah Social and Cultural Association and KASHKHA Awards is an attempt to recognise and celebrate the achievements of these women and their positive impact on the wider community.”

Ms Wafa Ahmed Rashid Khamis Ali Al-Antli, stressed, “Winning the Fujairah Social and Cultural Association & KASHKHA Excellence Award is not only a privilege but a responsibility. Throughout my career, I have sought to work with compassion, collaboration and confidence. The award reinforces my determination to support people around me and help them believe in their capabilities.”

Ms Aisha Abdullah Saif al-Kaabi said, “I hope to be source of inspiration for women, and want them to believe that they can achieve the impossible. Knowledge and information are the keys to empowerment.”

Ms Halima Muhammad Ali Abdullah Al-Yamahi, said, “I would like as many women as possible to find the same joy, freedom and fulfilment from work that I have. Everyday I see incredible brilliance around me and I can only see a better future for all.”

Ms Ghada Mahmoud Abdul Ahlla Mohamed Alzaabi, said, “I believe that collaboration is the key to making major advancements. Together we can turn dreams into reality.”

Maryam Ali Abdullah Makhlouf, said, “The world has changed a lot in 2020 and we must all extend our support to those in need. It is our collective responsibility to rebuild the future.”

The selection process of Fujairah Social and Cultural Association & KASHKHA Excellence Award is simple and transparent. The recipient is awarded on the basis of doing something exemplary that qualifies her to be a role model for others. No individual can be recognised two years in a row neither is it open to any Kashkha employees.
