One of the remarkable initiatives launched by the Department of Social Services in Sharjah is the “Sanad” bank card, which it distributes to all 10981 beneficiaries of social assistance. This card entitles the beneficiaries to obtain discounts on the prices of various purchases. The card offers discounts and benefits on its services and products for the benefit of its holders from all 15 categories benefiting from social security that fall under 5 groups, which are “financial disability support,” “health care support,” “women’s support,” and “childhood care support.” The last group is support for people with special social circumstances. The Community Cohesion Department, in the Department’s Social Responsibility Section, concludes agreements with commercial institutions and companies under which “Sanad” card holders are allowed to obtain reductions and discounts for their various purchases, and every year these agreements are renewed, especially since the agreements have the main role in providing financial support, according to the quota. Al Hammadi, Director of the Community Cohesion Department, said that the number of companies with which the agreement was signed during the past year 2023 reached 86 companies and institutions from various sectors, and we seek to increase the percentage of partners joining us, which will provide happiness for Sanad bank card holders. The goal of “Sanad,” which was launched in 2017, is to help members of the department purchase and provide the needs and items they need, and improve their standard of living. Therefore, we are keen to increase the number of entities contributing with us based on the signing of agreements between the Department of Social Services with its various partners from government agencies. And private institutions, to give beneficiaries of their services access to various options, benefits and discounts on the services, products and facilities provided. “Sanad” staff is a bank card issued in cooperation with the Sharjah Islamic Bank, which enables members of the Social Services Department who are eligible for social security to obtain monthly social assistance. It also allows them to obtain benefits and discounts provided by joint-stock companies and can be extended to the families of their beneficiaries or their representatives. Use it, especially since card holders may be elderly, bedridden, children, disabled, and other groups who are exposed to social circumstances.
