The endowment university, which aims to provide thousands of students with education
               opportunities, reflects how a culture of endowments has matured and evolved in the
               UAE.

               It is worth pointing out that the world’s top three universities and institutes are
               endowment institutions. Harvard is a private, non-profit university with a US $50.7 billion

               Reviving the culture of endowment

               The Mothers’ Endowment campaign, launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin
               Rashid Al Maktoum on 4 March, is organized under the Mohammed bin Rashid Al
               Maktoum Global Initiatives and allows contributors to honour their mothers by donating

               on their behalf. It aims to provide education and vocational training to underprivileged
               individuals by supporting education across all levels and vocational tracks, allowing

               them a chance to improve their quality of life, build their skills and prepare for the job
               market, which will ultimately drive the stability and development in their communities.

               The campaign seeks to revive the culture of endowments as a development tool that
               ensures sustainable impact and giving, while at the same time highlighting the role of

               mothers in supporting their children’s education. The campaign also establishes the
               values of honouring parents, kindness, compassion and solidarity in the community, and
               further establishes the UAE’s humanitarian role.
