Pride Investment LLC, an Emirati family-owned business, has contributed AED50 million to Awqaf Abu Dhabi’s Mother of the Nation Endowment for Orphans initiative, launched under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE.
The contribution will establish a sustainable source of funding for orphan care, providing them with a stable future and enhancing their quality of life in a way that contributes to building a healthy and balanced society.
This step reflects Pride Investment’s commitment to social responsibility and its belief in enhancing quality of life for the most vulnerable members of society, while reinforcing the principles of generosity deeply rooted in the UAE’s culture. The contribution also reflects the strong response to the campaign, launched in alignment with the UAE Year of Family objectives, affirming that all segments of UAE society stand together as one family in support of orphans and strengthening social solidarity.
His Excellency Fahad Abdulqader Al Qassim, Director General of the Endowments and Minors’ Funds Authority - Awqaf Abu Dhabi said: “At Awqaf Abu Dhabi, we believe the entire community is a family for orphans in the UAE, and that we share a responsibility to provide the care and stability they need to thrive. Every contribution, regardless of its size, has the potential to create a lasting impact. Through the Mother of the Nation Endowment for Orphans, we are establishing an endowment model that provides sustainable funding for orphan care and turns one-time contributions into a lasting framework of giving. Through this initiative, we aim to build a brighter future rooted in compassion and social solidarity.”
Launched on 18 February 2026, the Mother of the Nation Endowment for Orphans initiative reflects the UAE’s longstanding belief in supporting orphans through an integrated network of families and institutions. The initiative seeks to revive and strengthen waqf as a tool for social development and sustainability, while encouraging broad community participation and supporting a balanced, cohesive society.
