a role model of hope making. In the words of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid; hope making is the highest expression of
humanity and noble values.”

“Over 8 years since its inception, MBRGI has established the culture of hope making in the region, turning humanitarian work into a
sustainable institutional action and contributing to promoting an atmosphere conductive of all the noble values on which the UAE was
founded. This reality shows how the UAE is keen to be in inspiring example and a positive influence in the lives of people, helping
them strive for a better tomorrow,” he added.

“MBRGI has made a tangible difference in the lives of tens of millions of people around the world last year, thanks to constant
revision and improvements in its vision, goals and approach. It continues to embrace new humanitarian initiatives, extending the
scope and reach of its impact,” he concluded.
