The ‘Year of Giving' was inspired by the ideals of generosity, which lie at the heart of the nation's identity and the example of the country's founding father, H.H. Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. The legacy of giving resonates even today in the policies established by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the UAE Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai. These systems provide a comprehensive framework for humanity through initiatives, strategies, and programs intended to celebrate the virtues of giving and embed compassion in the heart of the nation.
