Dr. Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, since its inception two decades ago in order to promote development and growth. The importance of such cooperation stems from the great reputation of Sharjah Charity International as an example of charity and humanitarian action in the local community and the region.
The MoU stipulates achieving such cooperation in the scientific research field and through graduate students, to provide studies and consultation on sustainable charity projects which serve the charity's activities in various disciplines.

The agreement aims to promote the culture of care, raising community awareness, and spreading the culture of volunteering and humanitarian action especially between students. It also seeks to encourage engaging in volunteering programmes and charity activities executed by the charity inside and outside the UAE.
