In a remarkable show of commitment to social responsibility, a leading financial institution in Abu Dhabi has contributed 10 million dirhams to support the “Waqf Umm Al-Emirates for Orphans” campaign. This initiative, launched by the Awqaf and Minor Affairs Foundation of Abu Dhabi and under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, aims to establish a sustainable endowment fund dedicated to the care and education of orphans, ensuring they have a more secure future and improved quality of life.
A Community-Centric Initiative
This generous donation highlights the dedication of various sectors within the Emirati community to actively engage in initiatives that reinforce family cohesion and social solidarity. It aligns with the objectives of the “Year of the Family” and emphasizes that every part of society plays a crucial role in supporting national efforts aimed at empowering the most vulnerable groups.
Long-Term Benefits for Orphans
The contribution not only reinforces the goals of the “Waqf Umm Al-Emirates for Orphans” campaign but also aims to transform community contributions into long-term endowment returns. These returns will be invested through a certified endowment mechanism, ensuring the sustainability of support directed towards orphans in essential areas such as education, healthcare, and dignified living standards.
National Partnership and Collective Impact
Fahad Abdulqader Al-Qassem, the Director-General of the Awqaf and Minor Affairs Foundation, emphasized that this contribution reflects the spirit of national partnership in supporting charitable work. He noted, “Every contribution, regardless of its size, adds up with others to create a collective force that generates a sustainable humanitarian impact benefiting orphans and the community as a whole.”
