Al Noor is a non-profit organization that provides holistic development to an individual with disabilities with the intention of integrating them into mainstream society. The Centre relies on fundraising and sponsorship from corporates/communities to cover the costs of running the Centre.
The Al Noor Training Centre was established in 1981 with just 8 children. Since then, it has expanded, to enrich the lives of hundreds of children and young adults with various physical and cognitive challenges.
The Centre follows a holistic approach to the wellbeing and development of all students, who benefit from individualized, specially designed programs to suit their specific needs. Its broad curriculum covers all areas of training and development, offers a wide range of therapies, vocational training, work placement schemes, co-curricular activities, and satellite programs – all designed to support students and their families every step of the way.
Today the center has 180 students from more than 31 nationalities, who enjoy the excellent facilities of the purpose-built center. The center was generously donated by HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
