The Director General of Al-Ihsan Charity Association, Sheikh Rashid bin Mohammed bin Ali Al-Nuaimi, said: “The most important characteristic of the charitable and humanitarian work of the United Arab Emirates is that it is based on an effective institutional framework, and the fact that the Al-Ihsan Charity Association works in the charitable field and plays a vital role in supporting the development and humanitarian goals that it seeks the country to achieve, we at Al Ihsan Charitable Association are aware of the responsibility that we bear to leave a positive impact on people's lives, stressing our keenness to enhance cooperation with our strategic partners in implementing charitable and humanitarian initiatives that would provide the necessary services to targeted groups of families with limited income, orphans and widows.
We are happy with our partnership with the Juma Al Majid Establishment & Hyundai Motor Company Middle East & Africa HQ, in which this campaign combined social responsibility and volunteering, the humanitarian developmental role of the organization and the creation of common value for communication and sustainability. Achieving one goal is to strengthen human solidarity, provide aid to those in need, and alleviate their human suffering.

Since 1988, we have been educating more than 40000 young men and women with responsible citizenship skills who have been making a transformational impact in different parts of the world,” said Dr. Karim Seghir, Chancellor of Ajman University.
“We are proud to partner with Hyundai and Al Ihsan Charity in this noble endeavor which will not only bring some relief to underprivileged families this Ramadan, but also foster the spirit of giving and a heightened sense of social responsibility among AU students,” he added.
