Ali Al Mutawa, Secretary General of Awqaf Dubai, said the projects completed during the first half of 2025 highlight the foundation’s role in developing endowment assets that serve vital community needs.
He said: “This is in line with the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, and the ambitious objectives he has set for the future of sustainable development. Such initiatives contribute to strengthening the role of endowments in promoting community wellbeing and ensuring a dignified life for individuals.”
Al Mutawa added that Awqaf Dubai is committed to preserving the assets entrusted by donors and implementing plans to achieve optimal investment returns. He emphasised that the foundation continues to develop real estate endowment projects in accordance with the wishes of philanthropists, thereby enhancing charitable investments.
These are scheduled for completion by the end of 2025 and throughout 2026, with proceeds supporting healthcare, education, mosques, and social services.
According to the foundation, the new endowments will contribute to raising quality of life across society and advancing the emirate’s sustainable development agenda.
