Mubadala Commits AED 100 Million to Empower Orphans Through Sustainable Endowment

In a significant step towards fostering social welfare, Mubadala Investment Company has pledged AED 100 million to support the Mother of the Nation Endowment for Orphans—a national initiative designed to secure a sustainable future for orphaned children across the UAE.

Launched by Endowments and Minors’ Funds Authority – Awqaf Abu Dhabi under the patronage of Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the initiative aims to create a long-term financial safety net through an innovative waqf (endowment) model. This approach transforms community contributions into enduring assets that generate continuous returns to fund essential services for orphans.

Mubadala’s contribution highlights its commitment to driving meaningful, sustainable social impact. Beyond immediate aid, the initiative is structured to support key areas such as education, healthcare, and daily living needs—ensuring that beneficiaries are equipped with the tools for growth, stability, and inclusion.

By reinforcing the concept of endowment as a pillar of development, the programme also strengthens social cohesion and reflects the UAE’s deeply rooted values of compassion and collective responsibility. It further underscores the critical role of national institutions in advancing humanitarian causes aligned with the country’s broader development agenda.

Speaking on the contribution, Homaid Al Shimmari, Deputy Group CEO of Mubadala, emphasized that the partnership reflects a shared vision of creating lasting value for society and uplifting future generations.

Aligned with the UAE’s Year of Family, the Mother of the Nation Endowment for Orphans stands as a testament to the nation’s enduring commitment to care, inclusion, and opportunity—ensuring that no child is left behind.
