Abdulla Al Ghurair Foundation
The Abdulla Al Ghurair Foundation was founded by Abdulla Bin Ahmad Al Ghurair in 2015, to empower Emirati and Arab youth through high-quality education opportunities, as well as the development of relevant skills. The Foundation helps youth across our communities successfully transition to university and the world of work, shaping a brighter future for the Arab world.
The Abdulla Al Ghurair Foundation functions as an independent entity, governed by its own Board of Directors.
Unlocking opportunity for over 239,400 young people.
Empowered 200,000+ beneficiaries with education and skills opportunities - ahead of our 2025 target.
Partnered with 120+ organisations to drive greater impact in education and skills development.
Expanding access to high-quality education across 21+ nationalities.
Seeking an education is not only about personal achievement but also our civic and religious responsibility as Arabs and Muslims. I hope this Foundation will help deserving young Arabs fulfil their education quest, and that they in turn will help others.
