Dubai Awqaf Launches 'Bunyan Al Khair' Charity Project
Initiative to build 22 charitable buildings for low-income citizens in Dubai.
The Dubai Awqaf and Management of the Funds of Minors Foundation has announced the commencement of the construction of the 'Bunyan Al Khair' charitable project.
This initiative is being launched in collaboration with the Mohammed bin Rashid Housing Establishment and the 'Emarat Al Youm' newspaper.
Its primary objective is to establish 22 charitable buildings aimed at benefiting citizens with limited income and underprivileged families, particularly those who do not meet housing service eligibility criteria.
This initiative is part of the broader goals outlined in Dubai's Social Agenda 2033.
The foundation stated that the project is expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2026, adhering to the specified timeline.
The charitable buildings will be constructed across 16 diverse and vital areas in Dubai, including neighborhoods such as Al Qusais and Al Warqa, with an estimated construction cost of 35 million dirhams.
The buildings will consist of residential villas of varying sizes, designed in a modern architectural style, while ensuring high standards of comfort, luxury, and construction quality.
Ali Al-Mutawa, the Secretary-General of the Dubai Awqaf and Management of the Funds of Minors Foundation, emphasized the foundation’s commitment to aligning its strategy with Dubai’s sustainable development plans.
He noted that this initiative is in response to the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President of the UAE, Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai, who has set ambitious goals for the future of sustainable development.
Al-Mutawa explained that the 'Bunyan Al Khair' initiative stems from a strategic partnership between the Dubai Awqaf, the Mohammed bin Rashid Housing Establishment, and the 'Emarat Al Youm' newspaper.
The collaboration aims to enhance the role of charitable funds in Dubai and contribute to benefiting a broader range of community members, providing assistance to those in need in accordance with the aspirations of the donors and supporters of the charitable work.
Since its launch, the initiative has garnered participation from various entities and philanthropists, reflecting the solidarity of community members with local institutions to support charitable initiatives and promote societal welfare.
Al-Mutawa invited those interested in joining the initiative and contributing to this humanitarian project.
Omar Hamad Boshahab, the Executive Director of the Mohammed bin Rashid Housing Establishment, stated, 'The Bunyan Al Khair initiative represents an inspiring model of strategic collaboration across different sectors, combining governmental, community, and media efforts to provide sustainable housing solutions for the most needy families.'
He added, 'The Mohammed bin Rashid Housing Establishment reinforces its unwavering commitment to support those who do not meet the housing service criteria through innovative solutions that embody the spirit of social solidarity and emphasize the role of charitable endowments as a sustainable development tool that contributes to achieving the Dubai Social Agenda 2033.'
Boshahab further remarked, 'We believe that providing suitable housing goes beyond mere construction; it is a cornerstone of achieving family and social stability, enhancing the quality of life for our citizens.
Consequently, we are keen to support such initiatives that provide safe and sustainable housing that keeps pace with urban development and meets the highest standards of quality and luxury.'
Ibrahim Shukrallah, Editor-in-Chief of 'Emarat Al Youm,' noted that 'Bunyan Al Khair' is among the largest national community initiatives launched within the local media landscape.
It aims to build 22 charitable buildings in Dubai to support citizens with limited income, underprivileged families, and humanitarian cases that do not meet the housing service eligibility criteria.
He articulated that the initiative's goal is to meet the housing needs of certain underprivileged citizen families by stimulating the private sector, business leaders, and philanthropists to contribute to and support initiatives that serve the public interest.
Shukrallah further highlighted that 'Emarat Al Youm' newspaper focuses its content on local affairs and community issues while adopting various initiatives that translate the leadership's policies in humanitarian charitable work.
In 2023, the Dubai Awqaf and Management of the Funds of Minors Foundation, the Mohammed bin Rashid Housing Establishment, and 'Emarat Al Youm' signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at launching the 'Bunyan Al Khair' community charitable initiative, which seeks to raise 35 million dirhams for building the 22 charitable buildings intended for citizens with limited income, underprivileged families, and humanitarian cases.
