DUBAI: Dar Al Ber Society joined a growing list of contributors to the Mothers’ Endowment campaign, launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, as it announced an AED5 million donation in support of the campaign that honours mothers by establishing an AED1 billion endowment fund to support the education of millions around the world.
Coinciding with the holy month of Ramadan, the Mothers’ Endowment campaign allows individuals to donate in their mothers’ names to honour them. Additionally, it aims to support people in underprivileged communities by enhancing education across all levels and vocational tracks, allowing them a chance to improve their quality of life, build their skills and prepare for the job market, which will ultimately drive the stability and development in their communities.
Better future
Dr. Mohammed Suhail Al-Muhairi, CEO and Managing Director of Dar Al Ber Society, said, ‘The Mothers’ Endowment campaign to support edu
cation around the world is a new addition to a series of charity drives the UAE continues to launch to aid and support underprivileged communities and individuals, helping create a better, safe and stable future for all.’
‘We are happy to contribute to the success of the Mothers’ Endowment campaign, and to supporting the education of millions around the world by providing them with the tools and skills necessary to lead independent, dignified lives,’ he added.
The Mothers’ Endowment campaign is organised by the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives, the region’s largest foundation in the field of humanitarian and development work. Raising the bar of community initiatives, it builds on the success of Ramadan humanitarian campaigns launched under directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid over the previous years.
