Endowment building opened in Sharjah

On Thursday, Sheikh Salem Bin Abdulrahman Al Qasimi, Chairman of the Ruler’s Office, officially opened the “Barakat Al Dar” Endowment Building in Al Majaz 2, Sharjah.

This significant project, developed as an endowment initiative, was realised through a collaboration between the Sharjah Department of Awqaf and the Sharjah Social Services Department, with a total investment exceeding Dhs37 million.

The proceeds from this endowment will be used to support the various needs and services for the elderly and children who lack proper social care, ensuring their well-being through the SSSD.

Upon arriving, Sheikh Salem Bin Abdulrahman officially inaugurated the building by cutting the ribbon, signalling that it is now ready to offer a full range of services to its residents.

He, along with the attendees, took a tour of a model residential unit in the building, where he explored the various rooms and amenities designed for residents’ comfort.

The building features 15 floors, offering residential units in a range of sizes, complemented by 5 floors devoted to parking, providing a total of 85 spaces.

On the ground floor, there are several shops and offices for building management, all aimed at delivering top-notch services to the residents.

At the conclusion of the ceremony, Sheikh Salem Bin Abdulrahman was presented with a commemorative gift as a token of appreciation for his presence at the inauguration event.

Sharjah Awqaf launched the “Barakat Al Dar” project as part of its endowment initiatives, aiming to inspire and encourage generous individuals to revive the tradition of endowment. This project focuses on the noble cause of honouring parents through charitable acts.
