Sharaf Group Donates AED 3 Million To Support UAE's Fathers' Endowment Campaign

Sharaf Group has pledged AED3 million to the Fathers’ Endowment campaign, initiated by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. This initiative honours fathers in the UAE by creating a sustainable fund to provide healthcare for those in need. The campaign encourages donations in fathers' names, promoting values of honouring parents and fostering compassion and solidarity.

The campaign operates under the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI). It aims to strengthen the UAE's leadership in charitable work through a sustainable endowment. This fund supports healthcare for those less fortunate or living in resource-scarce areas. It also promotes generosity and global humanitarian solidarity, establishing a community-wide movement supporting these goals.

Yasser Sharaf, Vice President of Sharaf Group, expressed their commitment to supporting annual Ramadan humanitarian initiatives launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. He stated, "Sharaf Group is committed to supporting the annual Ramadan humanitarian initiatives launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, which aid the impoverished in less fortunate communities, reflecting the UAE's deeply rooted values of generosity and compassion."

The Fathers' Endowment campaign provides an opportunity for everyone to honour their fathers while contributing to sustainable healthcare for those in need. Yasser Sharaf highlighted this initiative's importance, saying it underscores the humanitarian message of the UAE community. He added that this message is evident in every global initiative launched by the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives Foundation.

The campaign welcomes contributions from both institutions and individuals through six main channels. Donations can be made via the campaign’s website (Fathersfund.ae) or through a dedicated call centre at 800 4999. Bank transfers in UAE dirham are accepted at Emirates Islamic Bank (IBAN: AE020340003518492868201).

For Etisalat by e& and du users, donations via SMS are possible by sending "Father" to specific numbers: 1034 for AED10, 1035 for AED50, 1036 for AED100, and 1038 for AED500. Additionally, donations can be made using the DubaiNow app under the "Donations" tab or through Dubai’s community contributions platform Jood (Jood.ae).

This initiative not only honours fathers but also strengthens the UAE's position as a leader in humanitarian efforts. The campaign continues to gather support from various sectors, reinforcing its mission of providing essential healthcare services to those who need them most.
