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, an initiative aimed at providing sustainable support for orphan care throughout the UAE. This project, under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, aligns with the Year of Family and seeks to enhance community involvement in charitable activities.

## Long-term Funding and Social Cohesion

The initiative, managed by the Endowments and Minors’ Funds Authority – Awqaf Abu Dhabi, is designed to transform one-time donations into a continuous funding source for orphan programs. This approach aims to improve the quality of life for orphans and foster social cohesion by encouraging community participation.

## Building on a Legacy

The campaign, which began on February 18, honors the humanitarian legacy of the UAE’s Founding Father, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, and reflects the vision of Her Highness Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak. It supports the UAE's broader humanitarian goals and the objectives of the Year of Family.

## Previous Success and Future Contributions

Awqaf Abu Dhabi highlighted the success of its previous "Life Endowment" campaign, which raised nearly Dh1 billion in four weeks. The authority encourages residents and organizations to learn more or contribute to the new initiative through its official website.
