Yusuffali MA Contributes AED 20 Million To Support UAE's Fathers' Endowment Campaign

Yusuffali MA, the Chairman of Lulu Group, has pledged AED20 million to the Fathers’ Endowment campaign. This initiative was launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai. The campaign aims to honour fathers in the UAE by creating a sustainable fund for healthcare and treatment for those in need.

The Fathers’ Endowment campaign is part of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI). It encourages people to donate in their father's name, promoting values like honouring parents, compassion, and solidarity. This initiative strengthens the UAE's role as a leader in charitable work and reinforces the concept of charitable endowments.

This campaign highlights the UAE community's well-known values of generosity and global humanitarian solidarity. It creates a movement that supports these aims. Yusuffali MA expressed that participating in this noble cause is a meaningful way to honour one's father, especially during Ramadan.

Yusuffali MA stated, "The Fathers' Endowment campaign takes on a profound humanitarian dimension by supporting underprivileged communities and ensuring sustainable healthcare for those in need. Participating in this noble endeavour is a particularly meaningful way to honour one's father, especially during Ramadan."

He further added that their contribution reflects their commitment to the UAE's charitable initiatives. Yusuffali MA emphasised the importance of collaborative efforts to alleviate suffering. He noted that the UAE community has a long-standing tradition of generosity and compassion.

"Our contribution to the campaign, launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, demonstrates our commitment to the UAE's charitable and humanitarian initiatives. We believe strongly in collaborative efforts to alleviate suffering, and the UAE community has a long-standing tradition of generosity and compassion. We are proud to be part of this humanitarian movement," he said.
