Mother of the Nation Endowment raises AED3.3 billion during Ramadan

The Mother of the Nation Endowment for Orphans initiative has collected AED3.3 billion during Ramadan under the patronage of UAE President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

Launched by the Endowments and Minors’ Funds Authority - Awqaf Abu Dhabi, the initiative aims to establish a sustainable endowment funding source dedicated to supporting orphans across the UAE and enhancing their quality of life, while strengthening social cohesion and contributing to a more balanced and sustainable society.

Major contributions to the endowment include the Mother of the Nation City project, worth AED1 billion, launched through a collaboration between Awqaf Abu Dhabi and Eagle Hills.

The project comes in recognition of the great care and attention given by Her Highness Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, with its returns dedicated to supporting the Mother of the Nation Endowment for Orphans.

His Highness Sheikh Theyab bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Chairman of the Presidential Court for Development and Fallen Heroes' Affairs and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Erth Zayed Philanthropies, stated that the initiative "reinforced the role of sustainable endowment as a key pillar of social development, ensuring the continuity and expansion of its humanitarian impact".

“We will continue to advance impactful initiatives that enhance quality of life and further strengthen endowment as an effective development tool contributing to a more cohesive and sustainable society,” he added. 

The initiative also reflects the humanitarian legacy of the Founding Father, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, whose vision established philanthropy and solidarity as core pillars of the UAE’s national identity.
