To support healthcare in less fortunate communities Buimerc Corporation Limited contributes Dh20 million endowment building in Dubai to the Fathers' Endowment campaign
Buimerc Corporation Ltd. announced its plans to develop a Dh20 million endowment building in Dubai in support of the Fathers' Endowment campaign, launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
Coinciding with Ramadan, the campaign is launched in honour of fathers in the UAE and aims to create a sustainable endowment fund to provide treatment and healthcare for the poor and needy.
Buimerc Corporation Limited has contributed to the endowment building within the education complex operated by Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI) in Dubai Academic City. Revenues from the endowment building will support the Fathers' Endowment campaign
and its goals of improving healthcare in underserved communities. This includes developing hospitals, providing essential medical equipment and medications, expanding capacity, and upgrading operating rooms. These investments will create sustainable opportunities to enhance the quality of life for those in need.

He added: 'Our support for this campaign and its noble objectives stems from our commitment to social responsibility and our desire to join the UAE community in alleviating suffering. The enthusiastic response from individuals, institutions, and businesses to this Ramadan endowment campaign is a testament to the strong spirit of social solidarity.'
