DUBAI: A generous AED 20 million contribution has been made by an Emirati businessman to the Fathers’ Endowment campaign, an initiative launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum to provide healthcare for the underprivileged while honouring fathers across the UAE.
The campaign, part of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI), encourages individuals and organisations to donate in their fathers’ names, promoting compassion, gratitude, and solidarity. It strengthens the UAE’s leadership in charitable and humanitarian efforts and reinforces the significance of endowments in sustainable philanthropy.
Designed to support long-term healthcare solutions, the initiative aligns with the UAE’s vision of global charity and social development. By ensuring medical aid reaches those in need, the campaign plays a crucial role in social stability and community well-being.
