About Gulf for Good:
Established in March 2001, Gulf for Good is a UAE-registered non-profit organisation and UK-registered charity that supports sustainable charity projects for children and promotes wellbeing through life-changing experiences. Under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed al Maktoum (Chairman of the Emirates Airline Group), honorary Chairman, Brian Wilkie MBE, James Berry and Paul Oliver, Gulf for Good was first inspired by the requirement to raise funds to buy an ambulance for a war-torn community in Namibia.
Gulf for Good empowers people to change their own lives and the lives of children around the world through fundraising for sustainable projects in the developing world. In 2020, during the Covid pandemic, Gulf for Good raised more than half a million Dirhams for children in need (585,000 AED) and provided emergency relief and COVID support to its charity projects when they needed it the most. Gulf for Good celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2021, having organised more than 90 challenges, with over 1,545 participants, in 27 countries, in support of 61 children’s charities; raising close to USD$ 4 million to build schools, children’s homes, hospitals and more, changing the lives of countless children around the world.
