Emirati businessman Gheyath Mohammad Gheyath, owner of the GINCO Group, announced a contribution of Dh7 million towards the Fathers' Endowment campaign, launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to honour fathers in the UAE.
By establishing an Dh1 billion sustainable endowment fund, the campaign aims to provide treatment and healthcare for the poor and needy.
This contribution is part of the strong community response to the Fathers' Endowment campaign, an initiative of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI).
Coinciding with Ramadan, the campaign promotes a unique approach to philanthropy, fostering community-wide participation to establish sustainable giving through endowments. This ensures ongoing support for essential services, particularly healthcare, for those in need.
Gheyath said, "The Fathers' Endowment campaign, launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, generates significant momentum for charitable giving. It provides individuals, institutions, and philanthropists with an opportunity to fulfill their social responsibilities and support the UAE's humanitarian initiatives, whose substantial annual impact is felt across communities worldwide."
He added that the campaign serves the noble goal of ensuring access to healthcare for the poor, needy, and vulnerable. This access is vital for protecting and improving lives, empowering communities, and promoting development. The campaign offers a crucial opportunity to contribute to the sustainable funding of healthcare, directly addressing a fundamental human need.
The Fathers' Endowment campaign continues to welcome donations and contributions to the endowment fund from institutions and individuals across six main channels, including the campaign's website (Fathersfund.ae), as well as a dedicated call centre via the toll-free number (800 4999).
Donations are also possible via bank transfers in the UAE dirham to the campaign bank account number with Emirates Islamic Bank (IBAN: AE020340003518492868201). Donations via SMS are possible by sending the word "Father" to the following numbers (1034 to donate Dh10, 1035 to donate Dh50, 1036 to donate Dh100 and 1038 to donate Dh500) for Etisalat by e& and du users.
