Mohammed launches Ramadan clothing campaign

His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has launched a Ramadan campaign which aims to cloth 1,000,000 deprived children around the world.

The campaign will continue until September 19th, which falls on UAE's Humanitarian Work Day, and marks the 9th anniversary of the death of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.

On the occasion of the launch, Sheikh Mohammed emphasised that goodness and giving have become a consistent legacy marked by the goodness of the Emirates in the course of its distinguished humanitarian march to support underprivileged people.

Sheikh Mohammed said: "The Holy Month of Ramadan represents an exceptional opportunity to celebrate the values of goodness, giving and cooperation, which increases the importance of launching social and charitable constructive initiatives during the month, especially those initiatives in which the people of the UAE can share and collaborate.”

The Vice President said: "Since the founding of the UAE by the late Sheikh Zayed and the late Sheikh Rashid, the march of generosity did not stop because the founders built this country on the basis of giving and helping needy people. Zayed was the source of giving, he was the teacher and the one who inspired the generous people of the UAE, who are an ideal example of efforts and generosity that knows no bounds, and no discrimination."

Sheikh Mohammed said that Ramadan is an opportunity, like other religious occasions, to extend a helping hand to the less privileged, especially children, because they are in need of sympathy and care. Hence the importance of the campaign, which aims to draw a smile and put happiness on the faces of these underprivileged children.

He added: "In the Emirates, we have a tradition of goodness, to extend a helping hand to disadvantaged groups in different parts of the world, especially the poor and needy, as well as disadvantaged children regardless of color and race, The spirit of giving is a characteristic of Zayed's sons and daughters, it is a culture which is deeply rooted in our community."

The new initiative aims to collect donations during the Holy Month of Ramadan to supply clothing for 1,000,000 deprived children around the world and support them in the difficult circumstances in which they live.

The clothing campaign was launched in collaboration with the UAE Red Crescent Authority, which has many years experience in the field of international humanitarian work, as well as offices and representatives in many of the world's poorest countries in Asia and Africa and a valuable presence in refugee camps.

Every year in Ramadan, Sheikh Mohammed launches a number of humanitarian and social initiatives that are compatible with the values of the Holy Month of Ramadan and noble authentic traditions that encourage goodness and giving, such as the "Noor Dubai", "Dubai Cares" and "Family Village for Orphans" and other initiatives.
