The gap we are filling

The experiences that bring joy, friendship and belonging

People of Determination in the UAE have access to excellent healthcare, education, and employment support. But what about the fun stuff?

Art classes, bingo nights, dance sessions, cooking workshops, Quran lessons, friendship circles — the everyday experiences that make life full. Himma was built to make those experiences easy to find, safe to attend, and accessible for every family.

"It has been two months and I am already depressed being homebound without friends. I don't have anyone to go with."

Activities on your terms

Every activity on Himma is clearly tagged so families always know exactly what to expect before they book.

PoD Only

People of Determination Only

Sessions exclusively for People of Determination — a safe, comfortable, judgment-free space where everyone understands each other.

Adaptive

Specially Adapted

Mainstream activities redesigned and adapted specifically for People of Determination — same experience, built around their needs.

Inclusive

Mixed & Inclusive

Open sessions welcoming everyone — providers who run inclusive activities where People of Determination participate alongside others.

Simple for families. Powerful for providers.

Three steps between a family and an experience that changes everything.

01

Complete your profile

Families answer a short questionnaire about their loved one's needs, comfort level, interests, and preferred activity type — PoD Only, Adaptive, or Inclusive.

02

Get matched instantly

Himma shows only the providers and activities genuinely right for your loved one. No awkward calls. No explaining from scratch. The right fit, automatically.

03

Book, attend and connect

One tap to book. Sessions are subsidised for families through our corporate partnership model. And every session ends with a 15-minute social mixer — because the friendships are the whole point.

Every experience they deserve

From creative arts to fitness, spiritual learning to social events — all with verified, patient providers.

Because activities are wonderful. But the friends you make there? That's what changes everything.

Built to fight social isolation — one friendship at a time
