Dubai [UAE], August 23 (ANI/WAM): Dubai Customs has launched the "Cooling Hearts" initiative, which involves providing cold water, juices, and fruits to the labour workforce in Dubai, in collaboration with the Permanent Committee for Labour Affairs (PCLA) in Dubai and the "Taqdeer Award".
Over the course of three months, the campaign aims to distribute a total of 10,000 packages.
Volunteers from Dubai Customs distribute cold drinking water, juices, and fruits to labourers, including those in the construction industry and other sectors. The intention is to help them cope with the summer heat. The campaign will commence on Meydan Street in Nadd Al Shiba.

Multiple initiatives will be executed, accompanied by additional incentives tailored for this group.
