'Neighbours of the Prophet Endowment' receives first donation of Dhs3 million

In a heartening scene reflecting strong community cohesion and deep human engagement with charitable initiatives, a generous benefactor has made the first endowment donation of AED 3 million to the Sharjah Social Empowerment Foundation, following the launch of the "Neighbours of the Prophet Endowment" project. This donation lays the foundation for the blessed initiative introduced by His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah.

This generous contribution shows that His Highness’s call for goodness—when he quotes the Qur’anic verse “And for this let those aspire, who have aspirations”—has deeply resonated with the community. The initiative is a comprehensive, sustainable endowment platform that aims to improve orphans’ living conditions and support their academic, psychological, social, health, and economic development, ensuring them a dignified life and a hopeful future.

Mona bin Hadda Al Suwaidi, Director General of the Sharjah Social Empowerment Foundation, praised the donation from a benevolent woman as a shining example of community solidarity and the enduring values of endowment. She highlighted that this programme, initiated by His Highness, marks a promising beginning to a series of contributions that the Foundation hopes will grow with the support of both individuals and institutions.

She stated, “Every dirham invested in this endowment has a long-term impact—not just in terms of direct assistance but also in building futures and providing orphans with a life worthy of their human dignity.” The benefits of this endowment reach far beyond the orphans, extending to those who give and maintain it—offering the reward of ongoing charity that continues to benefit both in life and after death. It stands as a lasting source of goodness and a living example of meaningful giving.
