UAE PM Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid launches Mothers’ Endowment ahead of Ramadan 2024

 

HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum has launched the Mothers’ Endowment campaign, aiming to honor mothers in the UAE by establishing a Dh1 billion fund to support the education of millions of people. The campaign is named after mothers as their children’s first teachers, who nurture generations and offer them necessary knowledge throughout life. The endowment fund plans to support the education and qualification of people in underprivileged communities worldwide, empowering them to enter the job market.

The campaign highlights the values of honoring parents, kindness, and solidarity, solidifying the UAE’s status in charity and humanitarian initiatives. The UAE’s unique culture of generosity is celebrated through the campaign, which calls upon everyone, young and old, men and women, to be part of it.

Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI) combines over 35 humanitarian, social, and development initiatives and entities that focus primarily on susceptible and disadvantaged communities across the globe. MBRGI also actively works to promote a cultural of hope across the Arab world, actively working to solve urgent humanitarian and development challenges and investing in human capital as the main source of development.

The Mother’s Endowment campaign builds on the success of previous Ramadan campaigns launched under HH Sheikh Mohammed’s directives over the past four years, including the ’10 Million Meals’ campaign in 2020, the ‘100 Million Meals’ campaign in 2021, the ‘1 Billion Meals’ campaign in 2022, and the ‘1 Billion Meals Endowment’ in Ramadan 2023.

Sky Care: How the UAE’s First Hospital Vertiport is Redefining Emergency Response

  Imagine a critical patient, a time-sensitive organ for transplant, or a specialist medical team needed across a bustling city. On the ground, traffic is a formidable adversary, where every minute lost can alter outcomes. Now, imagine that same journey taking minutes instead of an hour, not by navigating the roads, but by soaring gracefully above them. This is not a scene from a sci-fi film; it is the new reality in the United Arab Emirates. In a landmark move that solidifies its position on the global stage of innovation, the UAE has officially launched the nation’s — and the region’s — first hospital-based vertiport at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi. This isn’t just a helipad with a new name. It is the cornerstone of a fully integrated, city-wide advanced air mobility (AAM) ecosystem, marking a profound convergence of cutting-edge aviation, AI-driven healthcare, and sustainable infrastructure. The Launch of a Lifesaving Corridor The project is a powerful collaboration between aviati...

Three Houses, One Vision – How the UAE’s Abrahamic Family House is Redefining Inter-Faith Dialogue

  When you step onto the stone-plinth of the Abrahamic Family House on Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi, you are not just visiting a building. You are entering a bold statement: a mosque, a church and a synagogue standing side-by-side, equal in size and purpose, sharing common ground while respecting their separate faiths. A landmark of coexistence In early 2023 the UAE inaugurated this pioneering complex, inviting worshippers and visitors alike. The architecture — designed to give each of the three faith-homes the same external dimensions and to signal equality — allows each to express its own traditions while remaining visibly part of a unified vision. More than 200 nationalities live in the UAE, which means the project reflects a multicultural reality in which multiple faiths and identities coexist daily. Islam’s role in the vision For Muslim-majority audiences in the Gulf, the Abrahamic Family House sends a resonant message: Islam does not fear dialogue — it embraces it. The m...

Beyond the Barrel: The UAE's Steady Hand in a Shifting Global Economy

  Global economic rankings often highlight familiar names, but a steady, deliberate climb is happening in the Gulf. The UAE consistently ranks as one of the most economically stable nations, and this validation stems from a steady reform model that has successfully insulated its economy. The story is no longer about oil wealth; it's about the strategic deployment of that wealth to build a resilient, modern, and dynamic knowledge economy. The proof is in the sectors now driving growth.  Tech startups  are flourishing in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, supported by government venture funds and a growing pool of talent.  Smart cities  like Masdar City and NEOM are not just futuristic concepts but active testbeds for sustainable living and business. This has triggered record  FDI inflows , with the UAE securing its position as the 16th largest global destination for foreign direct investment. The narrative is supported by hard data: a GDP growth projection of 4.6% in 2025...
