The Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Humanitarian Impact Foundation was officially launched as part of the celebrations for Zayed Humanitarian Work Day.
The foundation’s mission is to enhance human potential, support global health priorities, and provide opportunities for the world’s most disadvantaged communities.
Its strategy focuses on sustainable efforts in global health and comprehensive development by investing in promising solutions that empower individuals and communities.

In attendance were Sheikh Dhiyab bin Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy President of the Presidential Court for Development Affairs, other dignitaries, and representatives of the foundation.
The establishment of the foundation was formalized through a decree issued by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister, coinciding with Zayed Humanitarian Work Day, which falls on the 19th day of Ramadan each year, commemorating the enduring legacy of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan in humanitarian and charitable endeavors.
The foundation operates with legal and financial independence, allowing it to effectively achieve its goals.
The foundation will implement humanitarian, charitable, and developmental initiatives and enhance the culture of humanitarian work both locally and internationally.
