A Landmark Fundraising Effort

The Fathers’ Endowment campaign, launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has successfully raised Dh3.304 billion. Designed to honour fathers in the UAE, the initiative creates a sustainable endowment fund to provide essential healthcare and treatment for those in need, improving their well-being and quality of life. The campaign has attracted over 160,560 contributors, including individuals, businesses, and organisations from both the public and private sectors.
