ALEC Holdings, a leading diversified engineering and construction group operating in the UAE, and Saudi Arabia, had mobilised its work-force for the Ramadan Donation Drive initiative, thus contributing to family support and relief programmes. 

The initiative brought together more than 1,400 employees, subcontractors, and partners across the Group’s operations, reflecting a collective commitment to making a meaningful difference.  The company distributed 28,500 hygiene care packages to construction workers across its UAE project sites.

John Deeb, Chief Operating Officer & Chief Financial Officer, said: "The blue-collar workforce is the silent force behind the environments and infrastructure we shape every day. This is one small but meaningful way we ensure that every individual on our sites feels seen, respected, and cared for."

ALEC Holdings also contributed AED185,000 towards health programmes supporting workers in the UAE, as well as communities in need in Palestine and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. 

The monetary contribution made by the Group was matched by in-kind donations, including dry food items and personal care packages, reinforcing a unified, company-wide effort to extend support to communities in need. Together, these efforts highlight the scale of participation across ALEC Holdings and the tangible impact that can be achieved through coordinated action.  

CEO Barry Lewis said: "These initiatives are not a one-off effort, but part of a broader, ongoing commitment to deliver value beyond our immediate work. As a Group, we recognise that our position in the region comes with a responsibility to not only build, but to contribute meaningfully to the communities around us."
