4/2/25, 1:39 PM Company News in Egypt: How Ajman University is Bridging Education and Humanitarianism for a Brighter Future
A legacy rooted in humanitarianism
Ajman University regularly implements diverse initiatives, designed to address
critical needs and create opportunities for growth. These include healthcare
campaigns that offer essential medical services to underserved populations as well as
sustainability projects aimed at protecting future generations, among others. The
‘ (1) AU Mobile Dental Clinic’ exemplifies the university’s commitment to
accessible, high-quality healthcare, delivering free treatment to thousands of patients
annually. Equipped with state-of-the-art dental technology, including advanced
dental chairs and X-ray units, this self-sustaining mobile clinic brings essential care
directly to communities, ensuring that individuals—regardless of their circumstances
—receive the treatment they need. In addition, AU operates fully equipped on-
campus dental clinics, providing free-of-charge treatment to thousands of patients
each year. These state-of-the-art facilities serve as a vital training ground for future
dental professionals while delivering essential oral healthcare to the community.
Under the guidance of experienced faculty, students gain hands-on experience in
diagnosing and treating patients, reinforcing AU’s mission to combine academic
excellence with social impact.
Beyond its healthcare initiatives, AU fosters a strong culture of volunteerism and
community engagement, with over 1,500 volunteers actively contributing to
community-driven projects. In the past year alone, AU volunteers have dedicated
3,376 hours to meaningful service, supporting initiatives in healthcare, education,
sustainability, and social welfare. These efforts reflect the university’s commitment
to social responsibility, empowering students to become agents of positive change
while reinforcing AU’s role as a driving force for community impact.
On a similar note, the university established the (2) Office of Sustainability in 2018
to pave the way for a greener tomorrow by spearheading initiatives across various
domains such as environment, society, and economy. As a proud member of the
International Sustainable Campus Network (ISCN) and the UAE Universities
Climate Network (UCN), AU aligns its efforts with internationally recognized best
practices in environmental stewardship and climate action. These memberships
enable the university to collaborate with institutions worldwide, exchange innovative
solutions, and drive impactful sustainability initiatives. On the other hand, societal
initiatives aim to integrate sustainability principles into teaching and learning,
empowering future generations while fostering a culture of sustainability within the
campus. Finally, economic endeavours seek to create cutting-edge sustainable
solutions through research, while advancing practices that promote a healthy and
prosperous future. Through such trailblazing initiatives, AU continues to uphold the
humanitarian ethos that forms the organisation’s foundational values and reflects the
ambitious vision of sustainable transformation at a national level.
In addition to being a centre of educational excellence, Ajman University is a beacon
of the UAE’s commitment to community engagement and social upliftment. The
university harmonises the dual aspects of education and community building, as it
drives positive social change, reinforcing Sheikh Zayed’s legacy of compassion and
progress.
