This initiative is part of a series of community programmes implemented by the General Directorate of Endowments aimed at strengthening their role in serving different segments of society, particularly during religious occasions that carry deep spiritual and social significance.
The Director General of the General Directorate of Endowments, Eng.

He noted that the administration is keen to share children’s joy during religious occasions and aims through this initiative to bring happiness to their hearts in a distinguished spiritual and social atmosphere.
He added that the initiative reflects the administration’s commitment to maximising the social impact of endowments and activating their role in contributing to various humanitarian aspects, thereby strengthening social cohesion and embodying the concept of endowment as a sustainable developmental tool that serves people on different occasions.
He also affirmed the continued launch of qualitative initiatives that respond to community needs and promote positive values, in line with the administration’s mission to invest endowments in serving humanity. He expressed sincere gratitude to generous endowers, especially those who contributed to the Endowment Fund for Family and Childhood, whose support played a major role in the success of these initiatives and achieving their goals.
The Endowment Fund for Family and Childhood is one of the endowment funds dedicated to supporting family stability and child development by backing initiatives and programmes that instill educational values and provide a suitable environment for children’s growth.
