Abu Dhabi launches Mother of the Nation Endowment for Orphans project

## New Initiative for Orphan Support

Abu Dhabi has launched the Mother of the Nation Endowment for Orphans, a project aimed at providing sustainable support for orphan care throughout the UAE. This initiative is part of the Year of Family and is under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

## Long-term Community Benefits

The endowment seeks to transform one-time donations into a continuous funding source for orphan programs, enhancing their quality of life and promoting social cohesion. It encourages community involvement in charitable activities and aims to create a more stable society.

## Legacy and Vision

This project builds on the humanitarian legacy of the UAE’s Founding Father, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, and aligns with the vision of Her Highness Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, known as the "Mother of the Nation." It supports the UAE's broader humanitarian goals and the objectives of the Year of Family.

## Previous Success and Future Contributions

Awqaf Abu Dhabi, the authority behind the initiative, previously launched the successful "Life Endowment" campaign, raising nearly Dh1 billion in four weeks. Residents and organizations interested in contributing to the new endowment can find more information on Awqaf Abu Dhabi’s website.
