Inspired by H.H Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, the Deputy Supreme Commander of UAE Armed Forces, Takatof is a voluntary social programme designed to create a culture of volunteering throughout the UAE. Takatof mobilizes people and resources across the nation to find creative and sustainable solutions for proven community needs. Takatof particularly offers young people meaningful opportunities to volunteer for humanitarian, social and community programmes.

The Emirates Foundation established Takatof in Abu Dhabi in April 2007 to raise awareness of community needs, empower UAE individuals and encourage them to participate in specific volunteering opportunities promoting the concept of volunteering as the 'way of life'.



Takatof’s core values are at the heart of everything we do. We embrace:

•Commitment to social responsibility and public service
•Adherence to strict integrity and ethics
