In a remarkable act of philanthropy, Emirati businessman and former diplomat Hamad bin Ahmed bin Salem Al Hajri has donated seven buildings in prime locations across Dubai, with an estimated market value of Dh110 million. The generous endowment, facilitated through Awqaf Dubai (the Endowments and Minors’ Affairs Foundation), is one of the largest real estate contributions of the year. The donated properties, located in Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Gardens, Al Hebiah Fourth, and Al Murraqad, are officially registered and will generate sustainable revenue for community development projects. Al Hajri described the initiative as a Sadaqah Jariyah, a form of continuous charity, dedicated to himself and his late parents, aiming to create a lasting philanthropic legacy. The proceeds will support various charitable causes under Awqaf Dubai, ensuring long-term benefits for future generations. Ali Al Mutawa, Secretary-General of Awqaf Dubai, praised the donation as a reflection of the UAE’s spirit of generosity and its commitment to sustainable charitable work. He emphasized that such initiatives inspire both individuals and institutions to contribute to humanitarian, educational, healthcare, and service projects. Awqaf Dubai currently manages endowment assets valued at Dh11.1 billion across 1,043 Waqfs from 578 donors, showcasing the community’s strong cohesion and humanitarian responsibility. This donation continues the legacy of giving established by the UAE’s founding father, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, and upheld by the nation’s leadership.
