Every 21 seconds, a child dies from a water-related disease, and as little as Dh25 from you can help reverse this. The UAE aims to help prevent deaths caused by unsafe drinking water through a nationwide campaign called the UAE Water Aid, launched on June 28 by His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. Here is a list of where and how to donate:
“We are determined to plant a seed of goodness in every place around the world, as the legacy of the UAE to humanity,” Shaikh Mohammad tweeted about the campaign. “Charitable initiatives during Ramadan remind us that the UAE was built upon the eternal principle of doing good in the world”.
How to donate through SMS:
Text the word “WATER” to the below numbers (du and etisalat)
8025 for Dh25
8075 for Dh75
8150 for Dh150
8250 for Dh250
8500 for Dh500
For example: If you want to donate Dh150, text “WATER” and send to 8150 (both du and etisalat users).
