Family Of Late Obaid Al Heloo Contributes AED 10 Million To Support Fathers' Endowment Campaign In UAE

The family of the late Obaid Al Heloo has pledged AED 10 million to support the Fathers' Endowment campaign. This initiative, launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, aims to honour fathers in the UAE by creating a sustainable fund. The fund's purpose is to provide healthcare and treatment for those in need.

Operating under the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI), this campaign embodies His Highness Sheikh Mohammed's vision. It focuses on sustainable humanitarian efforts through community involvement and innovative programs. The goal is to assist underprivileged communities, ensuring they can live with dignity and access essential healthcare services.

The campaign has seen widespread support from various sectors, including government bodies, private businesses, and individuals. This collective effort underscores the significance of Ramadan campaigns as a global humanitarian force. It also highlights the UAE's prominent role in philanthropy and its extensive global influence.

The family of Obaid Al Heloo praised the Fathers' Endowment campaign as a generous initiative by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. They noted that it empowers less fortunate individuals by providing sustainable healthcare through an endowment fund. This initiative promotes social solidarity and reinforces the UAE's ongoing humanitarian efforts worldwide.

Donations to the Fathers' Endowment campaign can be made through six main channels. These include the campaign’s website (Fathersfund.ae) and a toll-free call centre at 800 4999. Contributions can also be made via bank transfers in UAE dirhams to Emirates Islamic Bank (IBAN: AE020340003518492868201).

For those preferring SMS donations, sending "Father" to specific numbers allows contributions ranging from AED 10 to AED 500 for Etisalat by e& and du users. Additionally, donations can be made through the DubaiNow app under the "Donations" tab or via Dubai’s community platform Jood (Jood.ae).

"Contributing to this noble effort during Ramadan is the best way to honour our father," stated Obaid Al Heloo's family. "We believe in our shared responsibility to help those in need globally." They highlighted how previous campaigns have shown the UAE community's generosity and unity through strong support for those in need.

The Fathers' Endowment campaign continues welcoming contributions from institutions and individuals alike. This initiative not only aids those in need but also strengthens social bonds within communities, showcasing the UAE’s commitment to humanitarian causes on a global scale.
