Dubai: A prominent Emirati businessman has announced a contribution of Dh20 million in support of the Fathers’ Endowment campaign, launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, and Ruler of Dubai, to honour fathers in the UAE.
Making the contribution during Ramadan, Mohammed Juma Al Naboodah said the campaign reflects the UAE’s deeply ingrained values of giving and the people’s commitment to helping those in need worldwide.
“It is an honour to contribute to this campaign and be part of a broader humanitarian effort to empower underprivileged communities through access to sustainable healthcare.”
This contribution is part of the strong community response to the Fathers’ Endowment campaign, an initiative of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI) that aims to honour fathers by allowing individuals to donate in their name, while promoting the values of honouring parents, compassion, and solidarity. By establishing a sustainable endowment fund, the campaign aims to provide treatment and healthcare for the poor and needy.
Al Naboodah pointed out that the strong support from individuals and organisations across the UAE highlights a deep sense of social responsibility, a genuine desire to alleviate suffering, and a noble spirit of solidarity with the less fortunate.
Donation channels
The campaign continues to welcome donations and contributions to the endowment fund from institutions and individuals across six main channels including the campaign’s website (Fathersfund.ae), as well as a dedicated call centre via the toll-free number (800 4999).
Other possible platforms for donating to the campaign are the DubaiNow app by clicking the “Donations” tab, and Dubai’s community contributions platform Jood (Jood.ae).
