A Dh10 million fund to renovate and restore homes of Emiratis on lower incomes has been launched in Dubai.

The "Good Offices" project was announced by the Ministry of Community Development and Dubai Holding on Saturday.

The move comes in the Year of Zayed and in conjunction with Zayed Humanitarian Work Day which falls on June 4.
