The campaign, which was introduced during Ramadan, is intended to benefit humanitarian and social purposes and to pay tribute to the fathers in Emirati society.
The outpouring of response testifies to the kindness of individuals, organizations, and institutions who have joined hands to leave a lasting legacy.

Donors included famous philanthropists, business organizations, as well as ordinary citizens willing to contribute to the worthy cause. The donations will go towards charitable projects, ensuring sustainable support for beneficiaries in the UAE and beyond.
This Ramadan campaign is also a part of an overall commitment to humanitarian causes in the UAE, cementing the nation’s status as the world’s leading philanthropic nation.
