In world news, the United Arab Emirates Government and Emirati organizations gave more than US$2.4
billion in grants and loans in 2009. The funds were used for humanitarian, major infrastructure,
and development projects in more than 90 countries. The Abu Dhabi Fund of the Abu Dhabi government
was the largest provider, submitting over US$1.3 billion. His Highness Sheikh Mohammed
bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the United Arab Emirates Prime Minister and Vice-President and Ruler
of Dubai, stated that helping the disadvantaged is connected to the religion, history, and
heritage of the nation. Our respectful gratitude, United Arab Emirates Government, the Abu Dhabi
Fund for Development and all participating Emirati organizations, for your generosity.
May each precious global citizen flourish under Heaven’s protection�
