Ras Al Khaimah government will provide financial support to private nurseries that had to temporarily close due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

His Highness Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi, UAE Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah, issued the directive as part of his efforts to help educational institutions recover from the impacts of the pandemic.

The funds will help nurseries, which had applied and qualified for financial support, carry out renovations, train staff and get extra resources for the children.

This initiative is one of the many rolled out by the Ras Al Khaimah government to support businesses across all sectors.
