This Majlis Mohamed bin Zayed session explores the UAE’s humanitarian efforts and how generosity – deeply embedded in the nation’s values – has evolved from individual acts of kindness into a national ethos and a global framework for aid. The panel reflects on principles rooted in the legacy of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan and highlights flagship initiatives such as the Reaching the Last Mile polio campaign and community engagement through waqf and volunteerism. The session underscores the importance of safeguarding this legacy to ensure the UAE remains a beacon of humanitarianism for future generations.
