Abu dhabi: In line with its role in advancing national social priorities, Aldar has allocated AED 100 million to the 'Mother of the Nation Endowment for Orphans' initiative, launched by the Endowments and Minors' Funds Authority - Awqaf Abu Dhabi. The initiative aims to provide sustainable, long-term support to enhance the wellbeing and future opportunities of orphans across the UAE.
According to Emirates News Agency, the announcement also comes in the context of the UAE's Year of Family, which highlights the importance of strengthening family cohesion and reinforces the values that underpin strong and resilient societies. Through a structured institutional framework, contributions to the endowment are transformed into investment assets, with returns allocated to support orphans' education, healthcare, and living needs. This approach ensures that support is sustained over time. Aldar's contribution reflects the company's commitment to creating positive and lasting impact in the communities it serves.
The announcement coincides with Zayed Humanitarian Day, which honours the legacy of generosity and humanitarianism established by the UAE's Founding Father. The contribution was announced at the Zayed National Museum in the presence of key figures including Abdul Hamid Mohammed Saeed, Chairman of Awqaf Abu Dhabi; Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak, Chairman of Aldar; and other prominent leaders.
Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak, Chairman of Aldar, stated that the endowment reflects the principles guiding Abu Dhabi's continued development and the UAE's enduring values of compassion, responsibility, and commitment to social cohesion. Talal Al Dhiyebi, Group Chief Executive Officer of Aldar, emphasized the company's belief in sustainable progress and its alignment with the UAE's values of solidarity and social responsibility.
This initiative reflects the values and principles championed by H.H. Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, Mother of the Nation, and builds on the UAE's longstanding humanitarian approach. It reaffirms Awqaf Abu Dhabi's ongoing commitment to aligning its initiatives with national priorities, in service of the best interests of society.
