Dubai: Employees of 21 entities across the UAE have pledged to dig 150 wells in 34 countries under the Well of Hope campaign, which will provide clean water to over one million people.
###
The 21 entities had competed in a 20-day humanitarian competition, the first of its kind in the region, launched by His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of UAE and Ruler of Dubai, when he urged public and private sector employees across the country to pump the largest amounts of water through a mobile virtual pumping device during Ramadan to be donated to people in need.
###
The Awqaf and Minors Affairs Foundation in Dubai (AMAF) took the lead by establishing the Well of Hope endowment to provide clean water to over 600,000 beneficiaries annually and implement sustainable water supply projects in drought-affected communities across the world.
