ADIB Donates AED 3 Million To Support Fathers' Endowment Campaign In UAE

Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank (ADIB) has contributed AED3 million to the Fathers’ Endowment campaign, initiated by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. This campaign, part of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI), aims to honour fathers in the UAE by creating a sustainable fund for healthcare and treatment for those in need.

The campaign encourages individuals to donate in their fathers' names, promoting values such as compassion and solidarity. It aims to strengthen the UAE's reputation as a leader in charitable work and establish the concept of charitable endowments. The initiative seeks to foster generosity and human solidarity, which are core values of the UAE.

Mohamed Abdelbary, Group CEO of ADIB, expressed pride in participating in this initiative. He stated, "The Fathers' Endowment campaign sends a new message of goodwill from the UAE to the world, embodying His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum's vision for charitable and humanitarian work." Abdelbary highlighted that this effort aligns with Sheikh Mohammed’s directives to support those less fortunate through sustainable healthcare programs.

Abdelbary further noted that ADIB is committed to initiatives that have a lasting positive impact on communities. "ADIB believes in supporting initiatives that create a lasting positive impact and improve the quality of life for individuals and communities," he added. This contribution underscores the UAE leadership's dedication to health as essential for a strong society.

The Fathers’ Endowment campaign welcomes donations from both institutions and individuals through various channels. Contributions can be made via the campaign’s website (Fathersfund.ae) or by calling their toll-free number (800 4999). Bank transfers can be directed to Emirates Islamic Bank using IBAN: AE020340003518492868201.

For those preferring SMS donations, sending "Father" to specific numbers allows contributions ranging from AED10 to AED500 through Etisalat by e& and du users. Additionally, donations can be made via the DubaiNow app under the "Donations" tab or through Dubai’s community platform Jood (Jood.ae).

This initiative not only honours fathers but also promotes sustainable endowments that benefit society at large. By encouraging widespread participation, it aims to create a community movement supporting its noble goals.
