UAE’s Orphan Endowment Breaks Global Record with Dh3.3 Billion in Donations
The "Mother of the Nation" endowment campaign in the UAE has officially made history, securing a Guinness World Record for the "Most Money Raised for Charity by an Annuity Pledge in One Month." Launched under the patronage of President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the initiative successfully gathered a staggering Dh3.3 billion during Ramadan. This figure significantly surpassed the required $270 million threshold, proving the immense generosity of the nation’s citizens and residents.
Dr. Mugheer Khamis Al Khaili, Secretary-General of Erth Zayed Philanthropies, emphasized that while the global recognition is a point of national pride, the true focus remained on securing a brighter future for orphans.
