GIVE THE GIFT
OF LIFE

When you donate to Al Jalila Foundation or partner in one of our programs and projects, you are not only offering the gift of time and money, you are granting someone the opportunity to
live a better, healthier, and happier life.
There is no greater gift than the gift of life.
Using and utilising your donations and contributions wisely, we can achieve our mission of touching millions of lives – and transforming thousands of them. We truly believe that with your
unstinting support, health and hope will neither remain out of sight or out of reach for them.
Help us change lives. Help us heal society.

Gift of Mobility
Gift of Happiness Gift of Harmony Gift of Giving

ACTION

We spend our entire lives acquiring
skills and qualifications and adding
to our wealth. However, we will not
understand the real meaning of life
unless we start giving to those in
need. We cannot be contented at
heart until we start giving.

His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum

Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai
