DUBAI: Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank (ADIB), the leading financial institution, has contributed AED 3 million in support to the Mothers’ Endowment campaign, launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. The campaign aims to honor mothers by establishing a AED 1 billion endowment fund to sustainably support the education of millions around the world.
Organised by Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI), the campaign’s proceeds will go towards implementing education projects in collaboration with humanitarian organisations, in order to provide millions of underprivileged individuals with the tools and skills needed to lead independent lives.
The campaign aims to promote the values of honoring parents, kindness, compassion and solidarity, while solidifying the UAE’s leading humanitarian role as it offers a sustainable endowment that provides opportunities for education and empowerment.
