Mubadala GE Capital, a specialized commercial finance company that provides financing solutions to businesses, announced today that it has strengthened its ties with the Future Centre for Special Needs (the Future Centre), an Abu Dhabi-based non-profit organisation which supports young people with special needs. In line with its commitment to support local communities, Mubadala GE Capital will provide additional funding and support to enable the Future Centre to help even more young people in the UAE.

The two organizations will collaborate to provide internship opportunities for students with special needs, where they will learn a variety of workplace skills while supporting a number of functions within Mubadala GE Capital. As part of a full year of planned activities, students from the Future Centre will also have the opportunity to learn computer skills during training sessions run by volunteers from Mubadala GE Capital on site at the Future Centre. In addition, the Mubadala GE Capital Finance Department will support and advise the finance team at the Future Centre about incorporating private sector best practice into the operations of a charity.

Established in 2000, the Future Centre accommodates over 170 students between the ages of three and 20 years of age from various nationalities, cultures and socio-economic backgrounds. The Future Centre is dedicated to the empowerment of individuals with disabilities, and seeks to meaningfully improve the quality of life for its students. Mubadala GE Capital has a long-standing association with the Future Centre, and the company’s CEO, Ronald Herman, sits on the board of the organisation.

Ronald Herman, CEO of Mubadala GE Capital and a Future Centre board member, said: “Supporting the local community is a cornerstone of Mubadala GE Capital’s values, and we have worked with the Future Centre for Special Needs for a number of years. We are deeply proud that this donation will help to further support the incredible work that the organisation does each year to help young people with special needs in the UAE. This year we are extending the support we provide beyond the financial donation to include providing expertise and sharing our employees’ time to help the Future Centre and its participants.”

Mowfaq M.A.Mustafa, Director of Future Centre added: “I would like to thank Mubadala GE Capital for its kind donation to Future Centre for Special Needs. I take their gesture as a validation of our worth in the community. It is encouraging to know that there are organizations such as Mubadala GE Capital who is ready to support us through monetary donation. Future Centre has indeed come from strength to strength over time strongly due to the benevolence of many people and organizations. I wish Mubadala GE Capital more success. "
