Abu dhabi: Under the patronage of President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Endowments and Minors' Funds Authority - Awqaf Abu Dhabi announced the launch of the Mother of the Nation Endowment for Orphans initiative. The initiative aims to establish a sustainable funding source to support orphan care, securing a more stable future and improved quality of life for beneficiaries, while contributing to a healthy and balanced society.
According to Emirates News Agency, the initiative seeks to promote endowment as a tool for community development, strengthening social solidarity, and encouraging support for those in need across the UAE. Awqaf Abu Dhabi is setting up an endowment model to provide sustainable funding for orphan care, turning one-time contributions into a lasting framework of giving. The Authority aims to build a brighter future rooted in compassion and social solidarity through this initiative.
Running from 18 February, the campaign builds on the legacy of the Founding Father, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who championed sustainable giving as a national principle. This initiative reflects the values and principles championed by H.H. Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, known as the 'Mother of the Nation'.
The initiative is part of the UAE's longstanding humanitarian approach, which has positioned the country as a globally recognised force for charity and solidarity, under the guidance of its leadership. Reflecting the values of the Year of Family, the initiative reaffirms Awqaf Abu Dhabi's ongoing commitment to aligning its initiatives with national priorities, serving the best interests of society.
Awqaf Abu Dhabi continues to launch campaigns and initiatives aligned with government directives and strategic priorities. Its previous 'Life Endowment' campaign, launched during the 'Year of Community,' successfully raised nearly AED 1 billion in just four weeks, with contributions from more than 200,000 donors.
