Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Announces 1 Billion Dirhams ‘Mothers’ Endowment’ charity fund

His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai, announced the Mothers’ Endowment campaign, which aims to honor mothers in the UAE by establishing an AED 1 billion endowment fund to sustainably support the education of millions of individuals around the world.

The campaign, coinciding with the holy month of Ramadan, stems from the basic fact that mothers are their children’s first teachers. They nurture generations and provide them with essential knowledge needed throughout life. The campaign aims to honor mothers by allowing individuals to make donations in their mothers’ names. By supporting educational and vocational systems, the campaign also aims to support the education and qualification of individuals in underprivileged communities, offering sustainable ways to raise the standard of living and empowering them to enter the job market, which in turn helps enhance stability and drive development in their communities.

In a post on platform X, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid said,

“My dear brothers and sisters…

The holy month of Ramadan approaches, and as has been our tradition of launching humanitarian campaigns, from the people of the UAE to the world every year, today we launch the Mothers’ Endowment; an education endowment fund valued at AED 1 billion, which acts as an ongoing charity in the name of all mothers in the UAE.”

“A mother is a synonym of heaven, and her satisfaction is the path to heaven. We call upon everyone – young and old, men and women – to be part of this endowment. Let us make our mothers happy, please our Creator, and practice fasting this Ramadan amidst blessings, love and kindness. May God protect the UAE and UAE mothers,”

His Highness added.

“The Mothers’ Endowment campaign for education support embodies the noble value of solidarity deeply instilled in the Emirati community and is a practical application of UAE’s culture of giving,”

His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid concluded.

Mohammad bin Abdullah Al Gergawi, Secretary-General of Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI), said the Mothers’ Endowment campaign for education support reflects the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum for sustainable giving and generosity, and supporting vulnerable populations around the world in ways that create a tangible difference and enhances their reality. “These efforts aim to provide them with their basic needs and give them a chance to live, work and learn safely.”

Proceeds of the Mothers’ Endowment will go to support the education of millions of individuals around the world, offering them the necessary tools and skills to lead independent, dignified lives. The allocations will be carried out in partnership with humanitarian organisations. It targets those who seek education and vocational training in underprivileged communities, which helps promote their stability and welfare.
