The Nautilus Foundation gifts study room, playground to Dh. Amaan Veshi Children’s Centre

The Nautilus Foundation, in collaboration with the Ministry of Family and Social Development, has donated a new study room and turf playground to the Dh. Amaan Veshi Children’s Service Centre.

The facilities include a fully equipped study room with a library and computer stations, as well as a turf playground designed to provide children with safe and engaging spaces to learn and play. The study room gives children access to books, learning resources, and digital tools to support their education, while the playground offers opportunities for recreation and physical activity in a secure environment.

At the opening ceremony, representatives from The Nautilus Foundation reaffirmed the organisation’s commitment to empowering communities and fostering children’s growth through sustainable, education-focused initiatives. Officials from the Ministry highlighted that the new facilities will significantly enrich the daily lives of children at Dh. Amaan Veshi, strengthening both their academic and recreational opportunities.
