We are an innovative philanthropy dedicated to advancing human potential and opportunity. Anchored in Emirati values, we invest in the building blocks of human progress to enable people everywhere to thrive. Today, we are focused on pioneering sustainable progress in global health and inclusive development to deliver meaningful change for communities around the world.
The Foundation is headquartered in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Our programs are active in 45 countries globally including Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.
The Foundation makes transformative investments in global health and inclusive development to solve problems at their root. Our focus areas include strengthening health systems through investments in infrastructure, health workforce and innovations; combating preventable diseases; and enabling thriving communities by unlocking opportunity for those who need it most.
We catalyze, build, and collaborate in partnerships that enable us to solve tough global problems. This includes ambitious, multi-year commitments towards ending polio, malaria, and neglected tropical diseases.
As part of our focus on unlocking human potential, we also prioritize tackling challenges that affect vulnerable communities. By taking the lead on these often overlooked problems, we can help deliver change where it is needed most.
By 2030, the Foundation's programs will reach over 500 million people in more than 50 countries worldwide.
The Foundation supports bold ideas that advance human potential and opportunity for people everywhere. To do so, we seek out problems where we can have maximum impact, harnessing UAE expertise to catalyze new innovations, ideas, and partnerships able to deliver change at scale. Our approach is evidence-led and strives to build the capacity of countries and partners, to ensure scaled and sustainable change.
