H.H. Sheikha Fatima contributes AED172m to 'Life Endowment' campaign
Her Highness Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, Chairwoman of the General Women's Union, President of the Supreme Council for Motherhood and Childhood and Supreme Chairperson of the Family Development Foundation (FDF) and Mother of the Nation, has contributed to the 'Life Endowment' campaign by endowing an AED172 million building.
The contribution will support patients with chronic illnesses through sustainable healthcare funding.
Sheikha Fatima also directed the renaming of Deena Tower to Life Tower, underscoring the campaign's humanitarian mission.
Sheikha Fatima affirmed that the UAE's values of generosity and compassion — instilled by the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan — continue to shape national efforts to support vulnerable communities. She also urged business leaders, philanthropists, and members of the public to contribute to the initiative, stressing that healthcare is a fundamental human right.
The news follows Sunday's announcement on Sunday that AED115 million had been raised from 33,000 contributors within one week of the campaign's launch.
Organised by the Endowments and Minors Funds Authority in collaboration with the Department of Health – Abu Dhabi, Emirates Red Crescent, and the Authority of Social Contribution – Ma'an, the Life Endowment campaign seeks to provide both financial and mental health support for those unable to access or afford necessary treatment.
