Dubai’s Endowments and Minors’ Trust Foundation (Dubai Endowment) has held an inauguration ceremony to mark the launch of ‘Well of Water’ endowment project.
The project supports the ‘Well of Hope’ initiative that seeks to supply clean water to disadvantaged communities worldwide and contributes to Dubai’s global water aid efforts.
The initiative was launched in 2019 by Dubai ruler and UAE Vice President and Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
Located in the Al Rashidiya area of Dubai, the new ‘Well of Water’ endowment project features construction of four residential villas on land area of 19,880ft2.
The four G+1 buildings, worth $2.4m (AED9m), will cover an area of 14,595ft2 in total. According to Dubai Endowment, the annual returns are expected to account for around 10% of the project value.
The proceeds will be used to support sustainable projects to supply water to communities in developing countries experiencing natural disasters.
