“Indian Philanthropist Contributes Dh10 Million to Sheikh Mohammed’s Motherhood Honor Campaign”

An Indian businessman and philanthropist contributed Dh10 million to the Dh1-billion fund that Dubai is aiming to raise to honour mothers this Ramadan.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, launched the Mother’s Endowment campaign, which allows individuals to make donations in their mothers’ names. The fund shall be used to support the education of millions around the world.

Siddharth Balachandran, executive chairman and CEO of Buimerc Corporation, thanked Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid for “the opportunity to help while celebrating the generosity of mothers”.

“Extending aid to the underprivileged communities, around the world, is the best way to express our deep appreciation of our mothers,” Balachandran said as he announced the Dh10-million contribution.

“Also, being a citizen of India residing in the UAE, it is a chance for me to humbly manifest the benevolence of these two Great nations, and contribute to the holistic elevation of world society at large,” he added.

“The Mother’s Endowment campaign is particularly important as millions around the world live difficult lives, where access to education and training isn’t possible. This endowment fund will play a key role in empowering them to improve their reality through education.”
