emirates7 - Her Highness Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, Chairwoman of the General Women’s Union, President of the Supreme Council for Motherhood and Childhood, Supreme Chairperson of the Family Development Foundation (FDF), and known as the Mother of the Nation, has generously contributed a building valued at AED 172 million to the “Life Endowment” campaign.

Sheikha Fatima also instructed that the building’s name be changed from “Deena Tower” to “Life Tower” to highlight the campaign’s humanitarian focus.

Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak expressed pride in the UAE’s distinctive values and principles, which have become deeply rooted in society. These values inspire individuals and institutions alike to collaborate in promoting well-being and empowerment both locally and globally.

She said, “The Life Endowment campaign, which supports patients with chronic illnesses, is a remarkable initiative born from the spirit of generosity taught by the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. It represents the UAE’s unique model of sustainable charity and humanitarian work, successfully broadening its reach by benefiting more people, emphasizing human development and empowerment, and ensuring continuous support for vital services that directly meet the needs of vulnerable groups.”

Sheikha Fatima called on business leaders, philanthropists, and the entire community to back the campaign’s goals and help a lasting impact on healthcare and patient care for those with chronic diseases.

She added, “Healthcare is a fundamental human right that must be accessible to all. The Life Endowment embodies this right through compassion and solidarity. Our support for this cause reflects the important role Emirati women play in nurturing a culture of giving and building a unified society that prioritizes the well-being of its most vulnerable members. Join us in this noble cause.”

Her Highness’s generous donation exemplifies the highest level of generosity and reflects the deeply ingrained spirit of philanthropy and solidarity within the UAE community. This community, known for its unity and charitable efforts, strengthens the UAE’s ongoing dedication—under its wise leadership—to preserving human dignity and promoting shared humanity.

This significant grant from Sheikha Fatima will aid the campaign in achieving its objectives of providing sustainable healthcare funding, treating vulnerable patients with chronic conditions, and offering them renewed hope.

Her contribution also underscores Sheikha Fatima’s dedication to supporting initiatives that improve well-being and empower all members of society.

The campaign, launched under the slogan “With You For Life,” is organised by the Endowments and Minors Funds Authority (Awqaf Abu Dhabi) in partnership with the Department of Health – Abu Dhabi, and supported by Emirates Red Crescent and the Authority of Social Contribution - Ma’an. It aims to provide financial assistance and mental health support to patients who cannot afford expensive treatments.

Sheikha Fatima’s support has greatly encouraged the UAE community to join the Life Endowment campaign, which has received widespread backing since its inception. The initiative seeks to ensure sustainable healthcare services, secure ongoing funding for treating vulnerable chronic disease patients, and strengthen the healthcare system to face future challenges.

The campaign invites contributions to build an endowment that will cover treatment costs, fund service development, supply medication, and offer mental health support.

The UAE’s commitment to providing top-quality care and access to advanced treatments for all highlights its leadership in improving quality of life and recognizing healthcare’s crucial role in individual and community well-being.
