Dubai (Aletihad)
Businessman Qusai Mohamed Ahmed Al Ghussein announced his contribution of Dh1 million to the Fathers’ Endowment campaign, launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. The campaign honours fathers in the UAE by establishing a sustainable endowment fund to provide treatment and healthcare for the poor and needy.
This contribution is part of a widespread response to the campaign, operating under 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.
Substantial positive impacts
Qusai Al Ghussein stated: “The Fathers’ Endowment campaign launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum is a truly exceptional initiative. It fosters a comprehensive community movement, and rallies individuals, organizations, and leading humanitarians to fulfil their social responsibility by supporting charitable and humanitarian causes. The annual Ramadan campaigns launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed significantly strengthen sustainable humanitarian work within the UAE and generate substantial positive impacts on communities worldwide.”
He added: “We are delighted to contribute to this campaign, which aims to provide essential healthcare services to the poor and needy. This noble objective stems from a deep understanding of healthcare's vital role in improving quality of life and empowering individuals, who are the driving force behind development and progress. This campaign offers a valuable opportunity to contribute to a sustainable funding stream that supports this critical sector, directly addressing fundamental human needs.”
