Abu Dhabi: H.H. Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, Chairwoman of the General Women's Union, President of the Supreme Council for Motherhood and Childhood, and Supreme Chairperson of the Family Development Foundation (FDF) and Mother of the Nation, has contributed to the 'Life Endowment' campaign by endowing an AED172 million building.
According to Emirates News Agency, Sheikha Fatima also directed the renaming of the building from 'Deena Tower' to 'Life Tower' to emphasise the campaign's humanitarian mission. She affirmed that the UAE is proud of its unique values and principles, which have become a deeply ingrained societal culture, inspiring individuals and institutions to work together to promote well-being and empowerment both within the UAE and globally.
Sheikha Fatima stated that the Life Endowment campaign, which supports patients with chronic diseases, is an initiative stemming from the values of giving and generosity instilled by the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. It reflects the UAE's approach to sustainable charity and humanitarian work, expanding its impact by focusing on human development and empowerment and ensuring continued support for essential services that directly address the needs of vulnerable populations.
Sheikha Fatima called upon business leaders, philanthropists, and all community members to support the campaign to achieve its goals and make a lasting impact on healthcare for people with chronic diseases. She emphasized that healthcare is a fundamental human right that must be accessible to everyone, and the Life Endowment embodies this right through compassion and solidarity.
Sheikha Fatima's contribution exemplifies the highest form of generosity, reflecting the UAE community's spirit of philanthropy and solidarity. This donation will help the campaign achieve its goals of providing sustainable healthcare funding, treating vulnerable patients with chronic illnesses, and offering them hope.
The campaign, organized under the slogan "With You For Life," by the Endowments and Minors Funds Authority (Awqaf Abu Dhabi), in collaboration with the Department of Health - Abu Dhabi, and the two fundraising arms Emirates Red Crescent and the Authority of Social Contribution - Ma'an, aims to provide financial and mental health support to patients unable to afford treatment costs.
Sheikha Fatima's contribution significantly motivates the UAE community to support the Life Endowment campaign, which has garnered widespread support since its launch. The initiative aims to ensure sustainable healthcare services and provide ongoing funding for treating vulnerable individuals with chronic diseases, while bolstering the healthcare system to address future challenges.
The UAE's commitment to providing the highest standards of care and access to advanced treatment options for all reflects its leadership in enhancing quality of life. The campaign has dedicated several channels to receive contributions from individuals and institutions, including a digital donation platform, bank transfers, and SMS donations.
