DUBAI: Al Waseef Group has announced AED2 million to support the Mothers’ Endowment campaign, launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, to honour mothers by establishing an AED1 billion endowment fund for supporting the education of millions around the world.
Organised under the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives’ umbrella, the Mothers’ Endowment campaign allows contributors to honour their mothers by making donations in their name to help support underprivileged communities sustainably through education.
Ubaid Memoni, Vice Chairman of Al Waseef Group, said, ‘The Mothers’ Endowment campaign is a message of benevolence from the UAE to underprivileged communities around the world, and a call to maximise global efforts targeting the empowerment of tens of millions of children and youth through education that helps improve their life conditions.’
‘Education plays a very vital role in today’s world and we believe this initia
tive launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum will definitely play a very big role in educating millions of students who are in need,’ he added.
‘It is an honour to take part in the campaign as part of our commitment to support charity campaigns in the UAE that aim to preserve human dignity and improve lives around the world,’ he concluded.
The Mothers’ Endowment campaign is the latest addition to a series of previous Ramadan charity drives launched under the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, which saw massive response and exceeded their targets.
The campaign aims to promote the values of honouring parents, kindness, compassion and solidarity, and highlight the role of mothers in nurturing families and supporting their children’s education. It also solidifies the UAE’s humanitarian role by establishing a sustainable endowment that provides education and empowerment to underprivileged populations.
The Mothers’ Endowment campaign continues to welcome don
ations and contributions to the endowment fund from institutions and individuals across six main channels including the campaign’s website (mothersfund.ae), as well as a dedicated call centre via the toll-free number (800 9999).
