The Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI) foundation—in collaboration with the "Gallant Knight 3" operation—will organize the "Ahmed Bin Rashid Humanitarian Bridge" event on September 26.
This initiative aims to prepare over 10 million meals to support the people of Gaza, serving as a community-driven humanitarian act in tribute to the late Sheikh Ahmed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who passed away last Monday.
Authentic Values of Goodness
To be held at the Dubai World Trade Centre, this community event is a humanitarian undertaking that honors the legacy of giving left by the late Sheikh Ahmed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum. It embodies the authentic values of goodness inherent in UAE society through a massive humanitarian mobilization. Community members, volunteers, and admirers of the late Sheikh are coming together to prepare food aid destined for the families and children most in need in Gaza.
Humility, Compassion, and Generosity
Mohammad Abdullah Al Gergawi, Secretary-General of MBRGI, stated: "The name of the late Sheikh Ahmed bin Rashid Al Maktoum was synonymous with humility, compassion, and generosity. Today, thousands of those who admired him are reciprocating that kindness through this major humanitarian effort."
He added: "This humanitarian event, held in memory of Sheikh Ahmed bin Rashid, reflects the spirit of UAE society—its values, its affection, and its loyalty to its leaders."
Al Gergawi continued: "There is deep appreciation for Sheikh Ahmed bin Rashid’s stances and his national and community contributions to our country’s journey. Gratitude toward the nation's prominent figures will always remain a cornerstone of our deeply rooted national principles." Volunteering
Community participation in preparing meals during the event embodies the values of giving and social solidarity, as well as the importance of volunteering in support of humanitarian community events—thereby helping to embed a culture of participation and generosity. The "Ahmed bin Rashid Humanitarian Bridge" event also reflects deep appreciation for the humanitarian legacy of the late Sheikh Ahmed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum; his hand was always extended in benevolence and generosity, and his name became synonymous with doing good, aiding the needy, and supporting community initiatives and charitable endeavors.
