The Authority of Social Contribution (Ma’an) has launched a range of fundraising projects aiming to raise Dh1 million to support cancer patients, people of determination, among others. These initiatives are expected to bring life-changing impacts to those who need it most. The organisation is hopeful that these initiatives will bring life-changing impacts especially to individuals who need it the most.
Faisal Al Hmoudi, executive director of the Social Investment Fund (SIF) at Ma’an, remarked, “We are an entity that operate under the Department of Community Development (DCD), so it is imperative that we address social priorities identified via the Quality-of-Life Survey. This ensures that we are targeting the right groups, therefore achieving a genuine, sustainable, and positive impact on the lives of individuals, families, and communities.”
The SIF drives fundraising initiatives that support programmes focused on the environment, health, infrastructure, and education sectors. Collaborating with the third sector, government, and private entities, SIF raises and deploys funding to operators leading these projects.
Ma’an encourages community members to volunteer and contribute to Abu Dhabi’s vision of a collaborative society.
Among its several projects, Ma’an has partnered with the Emirates Cancer Society to raise Dh1 million for advanced healthcare and preventive treatments for cancer patients. The ‘I Deserve a Life’ initiative focuses on cancer prevention and healthcare accessibility across the emirate.
