Emirates Islamic Bank Boosts Global Education With AED 5 Million Donation To Mothers' Endowment

Emirates Islamic Bank (EIB) has announced a significant contribution of AED 5 million to the Mothers’ Endowment campaign, an initiative spearheaded by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. The campaign aims to establish a AED 1 billion endowment fund dedicated to enhancing the educational opportunities for millions worldwide, particularly in underprivileged communities.

This donation places EIB among a growing number of entities and individuals rallying behind the campaign's mission to expand access to education and knowledge. The initiative not only seeks to honor mothers globally but also to leverage the traditional practice of endowments as a means of fostering sustainable development through education.

Hesham Abdulla Al Qassim, Chairman of Emirates Islamic Bank, expressed pride in joining forces with the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives to support this noble cause. "The Mothers’ Endowment campaign is a significant addition to the UAE’s humanitarian profile, focusing on mobilizing efforts to establish an endowment fund dedicated to sustainable education," he stated. Al Qassim emphasized the campaign's alignment with the UAE community's deeply ingrained values of solidarity and generosity.

By contributing to the education endowment fund, EIB affirms its belief that sustainable development in underprivileged areas can be achieved through improving educational access and quality. This initiative also celebrates mothers' pivotal role in nurturing future generations, aligning with broader efforts to promote values of respect, kindness, and community support.

The Mothers’ Endowment campaign continues to invite donations from both institutions and individuals eager to support its vision. Contributions can be made through various channels, ensuring accessibility for all who wish to participate. The campaign’s website (Mothersfund.ae) serves as a primary platform for donations, alongside a dedicated call center reachable via the toll-free number (800 9999).
