Seeing HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai receive the ‘Order of the Mother of the Nation’ from HH Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, is a true appreciation and tribute to one of the symbols of giving, especially, since it bears the name of HH Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, who is a symbol of philanthropy, as was the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.
HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum received the Order of the Mother of the Nation, due to his philanthropic work, and his noble message to serve people all over the world, alleviating their suffering, irrespective of nationality, race, or religion.
The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives, which we at the UAE Water Aid Foundation (Suqia), are proud to be part of, is an important addition to the UAE’s humanitarian mission. It underlines the UAE’s values of giving and humanitarian efforts. The UAE was ranked the world’s top development assistance donor in 2016 relative to its national income, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. The UAE has become a centre for helping the needy wherever they are, in adherence with the teachings of Islam, Arab traditions, and the principles instilled in the hearts of Emiratis by the Founding Fathers.
