An Indian businessman and philanthropist contributed Dh10 million to the Dh1 billion fund Dubai aims to raise to honor mothers this Ramadan.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Dubai, launched the Mother’s Endowment campaign, which allows people to make donations in the name of their mothers. The fund will be used to support the education of millions of people around the world.
Siddharth Balachandran, Executive Chairman and CEO of Buimerc Corporation, thanked Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid for “the opportunity to help as we celebrate the generosity of mothers.”
“Offering help to disadvantaged communities around the world is the best way to express our deep gratitude to our mothers,” Balachandran said when announcing the contribution of Dh10 million.
“Furthermore, as a citizen of India residing in the UAE, it is an opportunity for me to humbly manifest the benevolence of these two great nations and contribute towards the holistic upliftment of the global society at large,” he added.
“The Mother’s Endowment campaign is particularly important as millions of people around the world live difficult lives, where access to education and training is not possible. This endowment fund will play a key role in empowering them to improve their reality through education”.
Organized by Mohammed Din Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives, the Mothers’ Endowment campaign reflects the UAE’s commitment to empowering disadvantaged communities and vulnerable people.
Coinciding with the holy month of Ramadan, the campaign aims to establish the value of honoring parents, kindness, compassion and solidarity across the community, as well as solidify the UAE’s humanitarian role.
It also promotes the concept of donations as a development tool that ensures sustainable charity and supports global sustainable development efforts.
