The Saeed Ahmed Lootah Charity Foundation has pledged AED10 million to 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 for healthcare and treatment for those in need. The campaign is part of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI).

The campaign seeks to promote values such as honouring parents, compassion, and solidarity. It also aims to reinforce the UAE's leadership in charitable work and establish the concept of charitable endowments. By fostering generosity and human solidarity, it hopes to create a community-wide movement supporting these goals.

He stated that it reflects the UAE's dedication to humanitarian efforts and embodies values like honouring parents and social solidarity.

Eng. Yahya Saeed Lootah, Vice Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Foundation, expressed that supporting this campaign aligns with their commitment to sustainable good. He emphasised that generosity and giving are core values established by their founder in his charitable projects.
