In a significant move aimed at enhancing community welfare and promoting sustainable growth, “أوقاف أبوظبي” has announced a substantial contribution of 100 million dirhams to support the “وقف أم الإمارات للأيتام” initiative. This financial backing underscores the entity’s ongoing commitment to transforming wealth into a catalyst for economic prosperity and communal well-being, particularly in safeguarding and nurturing the interests of orphans.
Supporting a Noble Cause
The “وقف أم الإمارات للأيتام” initiative, launched under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the President of the UAE, epitomizes the deeply rooted values of charity and generosity in the Emirates. This campaign draws inspiration from the legacy of the nation’s founding father, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who prioritized humanitarian work as a foundational pillar of the country’s progress.
A Commitment to Sustainable Development
Abdulhamid Mohammed Saeed, the Chairman of “أوقاف أبوظبي,” emphasized that the campaign represents a tangible manifestation of the UAE’s vision for establishing endowments as a sustainable developmental tool that aligns with national priorities. He stated, “Our contribution reflects our commitment to cultivating a modern endowment system managed according to global best practices, ensuring resource sustainability and maximizing social impact, thereby providing a supportive environment for orphans to build their futures with confidence and stability.”
Strategic Framework for Community Welfare
According to Fadh Abdulqader Al Qassem, the Director General of the organization, “أوقاف أبوظبي” is dedicated to creating an endowment system that assures continuous support for orphans while adopting sustainable investment strategies. This approach aims to provide top-notch educational and health services, empowering orphans to become active participants in their communities and achieve their aspirations.
A Legacy of Humanitarian Initiatives
The “وقف أم الإمارات للأيتام” campaign adds to the UAE’s impressive track record of charitable and humanitarian projects. It reflects the vision of the country’s leadership in embedding humanitarianism as a fundamental and enduring practice that contributes to enhancing overall quality of life, fostering community cohesion, and promoting values of tolerance and peace.
Furthermore, “أوقاف أبوظبي” continues to spearhead pioneering endowment initiatives, having successfully launched the “وقف الحياة” campaign, which collected nearly one billion dirhams during the “Year of Community.” The current campaign, “وقف أم الإمارات للأيتام,” coinciding with the “Year of Family,” has garnered widespread community engagement from individuals, institutions, and the private sector due to its noble humanitarian objectives and its role in supporting the nation’s sustainable development trajectory.
