Dubai: The Mothers’ Endowment campaign, launched ahead of Ramadan by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, on Sunday announced six easy channels that will receive donations and contributions in honour of mothers, by establishing an endowment fund to provide education to millions around the world in a sustainable manner.
Cash donations to the campaign, which go to providing education to underprivileged populations, can be made through the campaign’s website, via SMS, bank transfers, the campaign’s call centre, the DubaiNow app or Jood.ae; Dubai’s community contributions platform.
Organised under the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives umbrella, the Mothers’ Endowment campaign aims to honour mothers by allowing donations in their name.
The Mothers’ Endowment campaign will allocate its proceeds towards supporting the education and vocational training of millions around the world, providing them with the necessary tools and skills to lead independent, dignified lives and preparing them for the job market.
Meanwhile, the campaign helps establish the values of honouring parents, kindness, compassion and solidarity, highlight the role of the mother in nurturing families and children, and solidify the UAE’s humanitarian role.
