The UAE’s Fathers’ Endowment initiative, initiated by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, raised Dh3.3 billion, following donations from 160,560 donors. 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. Sheikh Mohammed had envisioned the campaign as a sustainable endowment that would support education and social welfare initiatives, and benefit generations to come.
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. The success of this Fathers’ Endowment campaign creates a new standard for community contributions and philanthropic giving in the country.
