The Dubai Police has announced its contribution of Dh1 million to Mothers’ Endowment – a humanitarian campaign announced by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai ahead of the holy month of Ramadan.
The campaign is intended to honour mothers by allowing contributions in their names. It also aims to support underprivileged individuals and communities in a sustainable way through education, said reports.
According to Lieutenant-General Abdullah Khalifa Al Marri, Commander-in-Chief of Dubai Police, it was “an honor to be part of the campaign and to support its objectives of sustainably supporting underprivileged individuals around the world, by providing the education and skills necessary for a better future”.
The Mothers’ Endowment campaign was launched by the Ruler of Dubai on March 4 to honour mothers by establishing an AED1 billion endowment fund that aims to support the education and training of millions of individuals around the world. It exceeded the target in less than a month of its launch. Sheikh Mohammed has confirmed that the campaign will continue to welcome contributions throughout the year.
“As the blessed month of Ramadan draws to a close, we are excited to conclude a campaign that attracted hundreds of thousands of participants to honour mothers. The Mothers’ Endowment which raised over AED1.4 billion during Ramadan is a permanent education fund and an ongoing charity in the name of UAE mothers, may God bless our efforts,” said Sheikh Mohammed earlier this month.
Adding “Our mothers will remain our paradise, and our ticket to paradise. Nothing repays our debt to them, so we will continue to celebrate them.
May God protect all mothers, and may God protect the UAE,” the Ruler of Dubai further said on April 2, “The Mothers’ Endowment campaign’s success in exceeding its target in record time is a testament that generosity is testament to the benevolent, generous nature of the UAE people and to their deeply rooted principles. The Emirati community has presented a bright example of giving and solidarity that are integral to the UAE’s value system and identity.”
