Sheikh Sultan Bin Ahmed Bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Deputy Ruler of Sharjah, and Humanitarian Envoy for The Big Heart Foundation (TBHF), met with supporters and donors who joined the foundation since its inception, contributing without fail to support TBHF’s noble mission.
During the meeting that took place on Thursday, at Al Seef Palace in Sharjah, Sheikh Sultan discussed the role of the directives of His Highness Dr. Sheikh Sultan Bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, and the dedicated stewardship of his wife, Her Highness Sheikha Jawaher Bint Mohammed Al Qasimi, Chairperson of TBHF, in instilling humanitarian work principles, the development of its methodologies, and the sustaining of its impact, along with the continuous support for the foundation’s initiatives, projects, and campaigns.
Sheikh Sultan addressed the role of humanitarian work in securing the natural rights of victims of conflicts, disputes, disasters, and poverty. The Deputy Ruler highlighted how the foundation supports their integration into host communities and contributes to their upliftment and advancement.
This is achieved through the foundation’s diverse programmes and projects, which include enhancing healthcare systems and facilities and education, alongside empowerment and training on essential life and work skills.
Sheikh Sultan emphasised during the meeting that TBHF and its supporters have helped millions of people overcome despair, loneliness, and the feeling of being forsaken by the rest of the world. It has laid the foundations for uplifting communities through sustainable projects that continue to develop and bear fruit for many years.
He noted that the great impact of humanitarian work goes beyond traditional scopes to build humanitarian awareness among those deprived by circumstances of life’s essentials, turning them into initiators to help and support others.
Sheikh Sultan expressed, at the conclusion of his speech, his pride in being one of the members and the humanitarian envoy of this foundation and one of the contributors to the charitable works it offers.
He pointed out that the aid and assistance provided by contributors and supporters are entirely directed to the beneficiaries and those in need, with the government covering all administrative expenses in its commitment to providing the largest number of aids worldwide.
