Abu Dhabi launches Ramadan initiative to provide sustainable orphan care

Awqaf Abu Dhabi has announced the launch of the 'Mother of the Nation Endowment for Orphans' initiative that aims to establish a sustainable funding source for orphan care.

The initiative, under the patronage of President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, also seeks to promote endowment as a tool for community development, strengthening social solidarity, and encouraging support for those in need across the UAE.

Endowment returns will be allocated to supporting beneficiaries across key areas, including tuition fees and educational supplies, healthcare expenses such as treatment and medication, living costs, and seasonal needs, ensuring comprehensive and continuous support.

The campaign builds on the legacy of the Founding Father, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who made humanitarianism a national principle and championed sustainable giving, rooted in tolerance, generosity, and solidarity.

Reflecting the values of the Year of Family, the initiative reaffirms Awqaf Abu Dhabi’s ongoing commitment to aligning its initiatives with national priorities, in service of the best interests of society.

Its previous Life Endowment campaign, launched during the UAE Year of Community, raised nearly AED1 billion in just four weeks, with contributions from more than 200,000 donors.
