Sharjah City for Humanitarian Services

Sharjah City for Humanitarian Services (SCHS) is a local non-profit organization founded in 1979 as a branch of the Arab Family Organization in the Gulf region, aiming to advance the Arab family and develop the social services it needs. SCHS was authorized under decree number 6/1981 issued by the Government of Sharjah on March 11th, 1981. On October 10, 1995, His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammed Al-Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah, issued a decree under edict number 4/1995, declaring SCHS as an independent organization in the Emirate of Sharjah aiming at serving people with disabilities in the UAE.

Success for SCHS is aiming at change our society's attitude towards persons with disabilities and affecting government policies in disability related issues. It also seeks to lead the way to a bright future for both mentally and physically challenged children, giving them confidence and a chance to live in an equal opportunity in the society.
