Awqaf donates AED400,000 to Mohammed bin Rashid Housing

Awqaf and Minors Affairs Foundation, AMAF, has donated AED400,000 to the Mohammed bin Rashid Housing Establishment, MRHE, to help provide affordable housing solutions for individuals in need.

Tayeb Al-Rais, Secretary-General of the AMAF, handed over the cheque to Mohammed Humaid Al Marri, Assistant Chief Executive Officer of Finance and Corporate Support at the MRHE in Dubai.

The donation primarily falls within the purview of a Memorandum of Understanding, MoU, signed between the two sides in 2015. The MoU mandates the exchange of electronic databases, enabling access to data and information for the mutual benefit of clients. It also seeks to achieve integration between government agencies and improve the standard and accuracy of government services provided to clients. The MoU also prioritises the provision of residential stability to minors under the care of the foundation, as well as the activation of public initiatives for the benefit of communities at large.

Al-Rais said, "At the Awqaf and Minors Affairs Foundation, one of our key focus areas is to provide adequate housing for citizens at an affordable cost. Our contribution reflects our appreciation of the MRHE, which continuously works to promote sustainable development through aligning the actual needs of customers with their future aspirations."

"All our efforts are designed to contribute to the achievement of the goals outlined in the UAE Vision 2021. We are equally committed to realising Dubai’s plan to shape a cohesive society and become a preferred place to live for people from across the world," he added.
