General Authority of Islamic Affairs, Endowments, and Zakat Contributes AED 4 million in Support of the \u201cMother of the Nation Endowment for Orphans\u201d Initiative<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The initiative reflects the UAE leadership\u2019s commitment to supporting all segments of society and strengthening endowment as a sustainable development tool<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The General Authority of Islamic Affairs, Endowments and Zakat <\/a><\/strong>has contributed AED 4 million in support of the \u201cMother of the Nation Endowment for Orphans\u201d initiative, launched by the Endowments and Minors\u2019 Funds Authority – Awqaf Abu Dhabi as part of the Year of Family, under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, with the aim of establishing a sustainable endowment model that ensures continued support for orphans in the areas of education, healthcare, and dignified living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This contribution reflects the UAE\u2019s wise leadership\u2019s ongoing commitment to supporting all segments of society and strengthening the country\u2019s humanitarian and social development ecosystem, reinforcing the values of solidarity and social cohesion that underpin the nation\u2019s development journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

H.E. Dr. Omar Habtour Al Derei, Chairman of the General Authority of Islamic Affairs, Endowments, and Zakat (AWQAF)<\/strong>, said: “This contribution reflects our commitment to advancing a sustainable endowment model that ensures continued care and support for orphans by providing stable resources that empower them and enhance their quality of life, particularly in the areas of education, healthcare, and dignified living. This aligns with the UAE\u2019s vision of building a cohesive society grounded in the values of compassion and solidarity.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Authority remains committed to supporting national endowment and charitable initiatives and engaging with them through various forms of support, including financial, awareness, and advisory contributions, helping advance their noble humanitarian goals.\u201d His Excellency added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He noted that waqf (endowment) represents a fundamental pillar of sustainable charitable work, distinguished by the preservation of capital and the continuity of giving across generations, thereby enhancing its long-term social and humanitarian impact while strengthening community cohesion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Al Darei also praised the continued support of the UAE\u2019s wise leadership for endowment and charitable initiatives. He commended the efforts of Her Highness Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, Chairwoman of the General Women\u2019s Union, President of the Supreme Council for Motherhood and Childhood, Supreme Chairwoman of the Family Development Foundation, and Mother of the Nation, highlighting her longstanding commitment to strengthening family stability and supporting orphan care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He emphasised that caring for orphans is among the most noble and rewarding acts of charity, given its profound role in nurturing empowered generations capable of contributing meaningfully to the UAE\u2019s sustainable development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cMother of the Nation Endowment for Orphans\u201d initiative forms part of a national vision aimed at transforming community contributions into long-term endowment returns invested through sustainable mechanisms. This approach ensures continued support for orphans across education, healthcare, and living expenses, while enhancing their quality of life and reinforcing the foundations of a balanced and cohesive society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
