The Mother of the Nation Endowment for Orphans initiative has received a contribution of AED100 million from Erth Zayed Philanthropies following the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President and Deputy Prime Minister.

Launched by the Endowments and Minors’ Funds Authority – Awqaf Abu Dhabi, the initiative seeks to establish a sustainable endowment (waqf) platform dedicated to orphan care across the UAE.

It will ensure long-term access to education, healthcare and social empowerment programmes that improve quality of life and expand future opportunities for orphans.

Approving the contribution from Erth Zayed Philanthropies, Sheikh Theyab bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Chairman of the Presidential Court for Development and Fallen Heroes’ Affairs, said the initiative further strengthens the UAE’s global leadership in humanitarian work. It also underscores the Foundation’s core mission to support national initiatives focused on family and childhood.

Funds will be invested through an approved endowment mechanism overseen by Awqaf Abu Dhabi, ensuring the sustainability of resources and their allocation to programmes with clear, measurable social impact.
