Azizi Developments Pledges AED3 Billion to Fathers' Endowment Campaign
In a momentous announcement, Azizi Developments pledged AED3 billion to the Fathers’ Endowment campaign, a charitable initiative launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, in honor of fathers across the nation.
The announcement was made during the closing ceremony of the 5th Arab Hope Makers initiative in Dubai, in the presence of Sheikh Mohammed.
The Fathers’ Endowment campaign, launched during Ramadan, aims to establish a sustainable AED1 billion fund dedicated to providing healthcare for the underprivileged. The pledge marks Azizi Developments' significant contribution as the first private sector donor to the campaign. The company’s donation will fund a humanitarian medical complex that includes a hospital, research center, and medical training facility, all built to the highest international standards.
His Excellency Mohammad bin Abdullah Al Gergawi, Minister of Cabinet Affairs and Secretary General of Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI), praised Azizi’s generosity, highlighting its alignment with the UAE's humanitarian vision and its commitment to improving healthcare access for underserved communities.
Mirwais Azizi, Founder and Chairman of Azizi Developments, expressed his deep personal connection to the campaign, recalling the suffering of his daughter due to an incurable disease and emphasizing the project's mission to alleviate similar burdens for others.
“This contribution is a tribute to fathers and a reflection of our commitment to social responsibility,”
he said.
This contribution follows Azizi's earlier AED600 million donation to the Mothers' Endowment campaign, further reinforcing its dedication to supporting vital social causes and strengthening the UAE’s position as a global philanthropic leader.
