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 Handshake: How the EU-UAE Partnership is Forging a New Model for 21st-Century Trade

  We are witnessing a pivotal moment in international relations, not in the halls of Washington or Beijing, but in the vibrant heart of Dubai. The ongoing negotiations between the European Union and the United Arab Emirates for a comprehensive Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and a parallel Strategic Partnership Agreement represent far more than a simple trade deal. This is a conscious, data-backed effort to build a deep and strategic partnership designed to thrive amid global economic uncertainty. The Foundation: A Trade Relationship Already in High Gear Before the first negotiation even began, the economic ties were already formidable. In 2024, trade in goods between the EU and UAE reached a staggering €55.6 billion, solidifying the UAE’s position as the EU’s second-largest trading partner in the Gulf region. The services sector adds another robust layer, with trade exceeding €39 billion in 2023. The growth trajectory is equally impressive; EU exports to the UAE saw a 15% surge in a si...
