UAE: Dar Al Ber Society contributes Dh5 million to Mothers’ Endowment
Campaign honours mothers by allowing donations in their name for Dh1b education fund
Dubai: Dar Al Ber Society in Dubai has contributed to the UAE-based Mothers’ Endowment campaign with a Dh5 million donation.
The campaign honours mothers by establishing a Dh1 billion endowment fund to support the education of millions around the world. It was launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
Coinciding with 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.
Dr Mohammed Suhail Al Muhairi, CEO and Managing Director of Dar Al Ber Society, said: “The Mothers’ Endowment campaign to support education 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 Sheikh Mohammed over previous years.
