Dar Al Ber Society Donates AED 5 Million To Support Fathers' Endowment Campaign In UAE

Dar Al Ber Society has pledged AED5 million to the Fathers’ Endowment campaign. This initiative, launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, aims to honour fathers in the UAE. The campaign establishes a sustainable endowment fund to provide healthcare for those in need.

The Fathers' Endowment campaign is part of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI). It embodies His Highness's vision of promoting sustainable humanitarian work through community involvement and innovative programmes. The focus is on empowering underprivileged communities by meeting their basic needs, especially in healthcare.

Since its inception, the campaign has received significant backing from various sectors across the UAE. Government bodies, private companies, individuals, and business leaders have all shown support. This widespread engagement highlights Ramadan campaigns as a leading global humanitarian movement, enhancing the UAE's role in philanthropy worldwide.

Abdullah Ali bin Zayed Al Falasi, CEO and Managing Director of Dar Al Ber Society, remarked on the significance of this initiative. "The Fathers' Endowment campaign marks another milestone in collaborative philanthropy, building upon the impactful Ramadan campaigns and major charitable initiatives spearheaded by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. These initiatives reinforce the UAE's standing as a global humanitarian hub, thanks to our wise leadership's dedication and ongoing support for vulnerable communities worldwide."

The campaign invites contributions from institutions and individuals through six main channels. Donations can be made via the campaign’s website (Fathersfund.ae) or through a toll-free number (800 4999). Bank transfers in UAE dirham are accepted at Emirates Islamic Bank using IBAN: AE020340003518492868201.

Al Falasi further stated, "This new campaign is a strong driver of the UAE’s community-wide humanitarian movement during Ramadan. We are honoured to participate in this movement, which amplifies charitable giving and extends its benefits to all."

Donations can also be made via SMS by sending "Father" to specific numbers for different amounts: 1034 for AED10, 1035 for AED50, 1036 for AED100, and 1038 for AED500. This service is available for Etisalat by e& and du users.

Additional platforms include the DubaiNow app under the "Donations" tab and Dubai’s community contributions platform Jood (Jood.ae). These options make it easy for everyone to contribute to this noble cause.

The Fathers’ Endowment campaign continues to gather momentum with its inclusive approach. By engaging diverse sectors of society, it strengthens the UAE's position as a leader in global humanitarian efforts. The initiative not only supports those in need but also fosters a culture of giving within the community.
