DP World Foundation Boosts Mothers’ Endowment Campaign With AED 10 Million Donation

In a significant move towards supporting global education and honouring mothers worldwide, the DP World Foundation has pledged AED 10 million to the Mothers' Endowment campaign. This initiative, spearheaded by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, aims to establish a AED 1 billion endowment fund. The fund is dedicated to enhancing the educational opportunities for millions across the globe, marking a substantial effort in community engagement and support.

The campaign falls under the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives and seeks to empower underprivileged individuals through education. This strategic move not only prepares them for the job market but also instills values of kindness, compassion, and solidarity within communities. By enabling contributions in the name of mothers, the campaign also highlights their pivotal role in nurturing families and fostering educational growth among their children.

Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, Chairman and CEO of DP World, emphasized the alignment of the Mothers' Endowment campaign with the vision of Dubai's wise leadership. He highlighted the importance of community-wide participation in charitable endeavors, which significantly impact disadvantaged communities and contribute to a future of stability and sustainable development. "We are deeply honoured to participate in a campaign that celebrates the invaluable role of mothers and champions global education," bin Sulayem stated, affirming DP World Foundation's dedication to social responsibility and humanitarian efforts.

The Mothers' Endowment campaign is not just about financial contributions; it's about reviving the culture of endowment as a vital development tool. By focusing on education for underprivileged communities, the initiative contributes significantly towards achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals. This approach underscores the campaign's broader vision of empowering individuals and communities for a better future.
