MBRGI’s Year in Review report reflects the humanitarian, developmental and social
feats accomplished by a host of initiatives, programmes and institutions all operating
under MBRGI during 2023, which helped alleviate the suffering of vulnerable groups and
effect a sustainable, comprehensive change that aligns with MBRGI’s mission of

creating hope and shaping the future of a safer, more stable world.

In 2023, MBRGI has boosted operational efficiency and resource optimization,
increasing the number of beneficiaries to 111 million people and its spending to AED
1.8 billion compared to AED 1.4 billion in 2022. Its projects attracted 160,547 volunteers
joining hands with its 1,028 employees, compared to 150,266 volunteers in 2022.

To inspire and encourage active participation in humanitarian and charity work, MBRGI
presented awards and prizes with a total value of AED 25.1 million during 2023,
compared to AED 18.4 million in 2022.

MBRGI operates over 30 institutions and initiatives that implement its programmes
across five key pillars: Humanitarian Aid & Relief, Healthcare & Disease Control,
Spreading Education & Knowledge, Innovation & Entrepreneurship and Empowering
Communities.

In 2023, MBRGI’s efforts under the pillar of Humanitarian Aid & Relief reached around
34.4 million people, up 4.2 million people from the number of beneficiaries in 2022.
Spending under this pillar amounted to around AED 1.1 billion, up AED 190 million

compared to 2022.

In collaboration with regional and international organisations, MBRGI launched several

initiatives and campaigns around the world, with a focus on underserved communities
facing the challenging realities of poverty, natural disasters and conflicts.

Campaigns and initiatives launched under this pillar included the ‘1 Billion Meals
Endowment’ campaign, which aimed to establish the largest sustainable food
endowment fund that would help eliminate hunger in line with Sustainable Development
Goals. A massive success, the campaign raised a record AED 1.075 billion from 180,000
contributors, including His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s
personal contribution of real estate assets and monetary donations worth AED 250
million.
