Mohammed bin Abdullah bin Sultan Al Nuaimi, Chairman of the Board of Trustees and Member of the Federal National Council, said: “This campaign benefits thousands of families. Since Human Appeal International was established upon the directives of His Highness Sheikh Humaid bin Rashid Al Nuaimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Ajman, and with the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Ammar bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, Crown Prince of Ajman, it has provided many seasonal, charitable and humanitarian programs throughout Ramadan and the holidays.” He called upon benefactors and those who are able to support the charity work of the “Your Giving is their Happiness” campaign by donating and providing assistance. This is particularly important for this year’s Ramadan, as it falls within the Year of Tolerance.

He affirmed the commitment of Human Appeal International to provide assistance and aid to various vulnerable and needy groups both within and outside the country. Such efforts, he noted, are in continuation of the benevolent journey deeply rooted within the UAE, and have helped millions of needy families from all over the world. Its tireless efforts have contributed to putting a smile on the faces of orphans, and to bringing happiness to widows and the elderly.

He said: “Thanks to the support and generous donations of benefactors, the charity continues to provide its charitable and humanitarian programs to serve those in need. It is also pleased with the initiatives of the good people who support its Ramadan campaign or any of the programs and charitable and humanitarian projects throughout the year. In 2018, Human Appeal International was able to support more than 2,600 locals, and this year's campaign will include the ‘Eid Smile for Locals’ which provides a full wardrobe for a large number of citizens—this is to bring these people both joy and pleasure while bolstering the charity's role in the community.”

His Excellency said that the charity has completed the first stage of renovating the courtyards and entrances of the mosques of Ajman.

He said that their projects, campaigns, and activities focus primarily on the impoverished and needy, with a share set aside for countries that are undergoing exceptional circumstances, in an effort to help achieve the development of needy communities by improving their education, health, social, and economic situation. Such efforts are made in addition to providing relief to communities affected by natural and social disasters, providing the needs of orphans and improving their health, psychological, and social conditions, and improving the relations between the charity and its counterparts around the world to establish the best methods for charity work as employed by other countries.

The Chairman reviewed the international achievements, saying they expanded in quality and quantity to provide for those in need, with 18 offices around the world in more than 16 countries. It has also collected around AED 211,187,203 via 1,555 projects—with the distribution of funds allocated to more than 1 million eligible persons around the world in 2018.
