“At the UAE Water Foundation (Suqia), under the umbrella of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives, we strive to achieve the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to develop and expand the legacy of the Founding Fathers and the noble values instilled by the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, may his soul rest in peace, to extend a helping hand to everyone in need and achieve common good for humankind. We are working to consolidate the UAE’s position among the most generous countries around the world. This is through the implementation of development projects and providing potable water to communities suffering from water scarcity and pollution, in cooperation with the concerned organisations locally and globally, and our strategic partners Emirates Red Crescent, Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Humanitarian and Charity Est., Dar Al Ber Society and Dubai Cares,” said HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, Chairman of the Board of Trustees at Suqia UAE.
