UAE: DP World Foundation donates Dh10 million to Mothers’ Endowment campaign
Dubai: DP World’s charity and humanitarian arm, the DP World Foundation, has announced a contribution of Dh10 million to the Mothers’ 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 mothers by establishing a Dh1 billion endowment fund that supports the education of millions around the world.
This contribution by DP World Foundation is part of a community wide response to the campaign by individuals, businesses and institutions, to support its aims of honouring mothers by enabling contributions to be made in their name, and supporting the education of their children.
The campaign, launched under the umbrella of Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives, aims to support underprivileged individuals through education, which prepares them for the job market.
Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, Chairman and CEO of DP World, said: “The campaign aligns with the vision of our wise leadership, fostering community engagement from individuals to institutions in charitable endeavours, thus ensuring their enduring impact on disadvantaged communities. These initiatives pave the way for a future marked by stability and sustainable development.”
