SlashData Contributes AED 1 Million to Support UAE Collective Wedding Initiative, Highlighting the Role of Strong Families in Building Future Societies
Marking the beginning of a new chapter for dozens of young Emirati couples, the UAE’s collective wedding initiative brought together families, communities, and leaders to celebrate the foundation of future generations. In support of this initiative, SlashData, a leading UAE-based govtech company contributed AED 1 million to the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Ports Security’s (ICP) collective wedding program, held as part of the UAE’s “Year of the Family 2026.”
Aligned with ICP’s efforts to strengthen family wellbeing, the initiative supports young Emiratis as they begin married life helping ease financial pressures while fostering stability, belonging, and long-term social cohesion through programs such as “Usrati.”
Held on 30 April 2026 at Mohammed bin Zayed City Majlis in Abu Dhabi, the ceremony brought together 60 grooms from ICP employees and their families under the theme “Growth and Belonging.” The event was organized in cooperation with the Ministry of Family and took place in the presence of His Highness Sheikh Theyab bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Chairman of the Presidential Court for Development and Fallen Heroes’ Affairs and Chairman of the International Humanitarian and Philanthropic Council, under the patronage of His Excellency Ali Mohammed Al Shamsi, Chairman of ICP.
Thamer Alfallaj, CEO of SlashData, said: “We are honored to support this initiative and to stand alongside these young couples as they begin one of life’s most important journeys. On behalf of SlashData, I would like to congratulate all 60 grooms and their families, and wish them a future filled with stability, happiness, and shared success. Strong families are the foundation of strong societies. By supporting young people at this pivotal moment, we are not only contributing to their personal journeys, but also to the long-term strength and resilience of our communities and the future of our country.”
In recognition of this contribution, Thamer Alfallaj was honored for SlashData’s sponsorship and support of the Collective Wedding Initiative. The recognition was presented in person by His Excellency Major General Suhail Saeed Al Khaili, Director General of the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Ports Security, during an appreciation ceremony held to mark the contribution.
SlashData’s contribution builds on its long-standing partnership with ICP, further strengthening their shared commitment to initiatives that support societal wellbeing and national development. By backing programs that empower young people and reinforce family foundations, SlashData contributes to building resilient communities and supporting future generations.
