WAM Dubai, July 24, 2012 (WAM) -- In line with its commitment to give back to communities where it operates in, Emirates National Oil Company (ENOC) and its subsidiaries are marking the Holy Month of Ramadan with its largest array of educational, charitable and community initiatives, several of them undertaken with public and private sector organisations.

ENOC's Ramadan campaign, titled �The Month of Giving', benefits various sectors of society, ranging from supporting non-profits, to increasing awareness of Islamic virtues, and distributing food and other items to the underprivileged, among others.

Building on the success the campaign gained last year, ENOC will again be taking part in the Al Ajer initiative launched by H.H. Sheikh Majid Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Culture '&' Arts Authority.

Another key initiative, held in collaboration with Alokozay, is the �Dates '&' Water' campaign, where packs containing dates, water and prayer beads are distributed to motorists at all ENOC/EPPCO service stations 30 minutes before Iftar.

"These social, cultural, educational and charity initiatives underline our commitment to support the community and share with them the spirit of solidarity, compassion and camaraderie that mark Ramadan," said Saeed Abdullah Khoory, ENOC's Chief Executive Officer.
