The family of the late Obaid Al Heloo has announced a generous donation of AED 10 million to support the Fathers’ Endowment campaign. This campaign was launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.

The campaign aims to honour fathers in the UAE by creating a sustainable endowment fund. The fund will be used to provide healthcare and medical treatment for people in need, ensuring that less fortunate individuals receive the care they deserve.

Part of a Larger Humanitarian Effort
The Fathers’ Endowment campaign is part of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI). This organisation focuses on promoting sustainable charity work through community involvement and creative programmes.
