Under the directives of H.E. Dr. Hamdan Musallam Almazrouei, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Emirates Red Crescent Authority, the Burj AlKhair Endowment has contributed AED 1 million in support of the “Mother of the Nation Endowment for Orphans” campaign, launched by the Endowments and Minors’ Funds Authority – Awqaf Abu Dhabi under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE.
The contribution supports the initiative’s objective of establishing a sustainable endowment (waqf) that provides long-term funding for orphan care, ensuring continued support across education, healthcare and quality-of-life needs.
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.
