Access to healthcare for the poor, needy, and vulnerable, he says
Dubai: Emirati businessman Gheyath Mohammad Gheyath, owner of the GINCO Group, has announced a contribution of Dh7 million towards the Fathers’ 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 honor fathers in the UAE.
The Dh1 billion sustainable endowment fund aims to provide treatment and healthcare for the poor and needy.
This contribution is part of the strong community response to the Fathers’ Endowment campaign, an initiative of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI). Coinciding with Ramadan, the campaign promotes a unique approach to philanthropy, fostering community-wide participation to establish sustainable giving through endowments. This ensures ongoing support for essential services, particularly healthcare, for those in need.
Gheyath said: “The Fathers’ Endowment campaign, launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, generates significant momentum for charitable giving. It provides individuals, institutions, and philanthropists with an opportunity to fulfill their social responsibilities and support the UAE’s humanitarian initiatives, whose substantial annual impact is felt across communities worldwide.”
He added: “The Fathers’ Endowment campaign serves the noble goal of ensuring access to healthcare for the poor, needy, and vulnerable. This access is vital for protecting and improving lives, empowering communities, and promoting development. The campaign offers a crucial opportunity to contribute to the sustainable funding of healthcare, directly addressing a fundamental human need.”
