Philanthropist pledges $1 million to education
A second generous US$1 million contribution from a prominent Philanthropist will help the country’s future leaders.
Sultan bin Rashed Al Dhaheri, member of the Federal National Council and Chairman of the Committee on Finance and Economic Council, has once again reiterated his support to the Young Future Energy Leaders (YFEL) programme with the substantial contribution to Masdar Institute of Science of Technology.
The contribution to the 2013 programme marks the second such commitment for a similar amount that will go towards developing future leaders in sustainable energy. It also demonstrates the UAE national’s commitment to community-oriented programmes. In January this year, Al Dhaheri donated US$1 million towards YFEL 2012 programme.
“Individual professional development needs to go hand in hand with higher education. These two aspects are crucial components for developing capable future leaders. We hope YFEL 2013 will further contribute to enhancing the skill sets of young Emiratis and help them develop into future leaders,” said Sultan Al Dhaheri.
Masdar managing director Dr Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber said: “The YFEL is a global platform that provides our youth with unparalleled career and networking opportunities, especially through activities such as the World Future Energy Summit and the Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week.
The YFEL programme was derived from the leadership’s vision to incubate and enhance our human capital. Such initiatives help shape tomorrow’s leaders as they navigate a growing and competitive economy.”
A prominent businessman in the UAE, Sultan bin Rashed Al Dhaheri has helped establish some of the key government and private institutions in the country. Al Dhaheri is one of the founder members of the National Bank of Abu Dhabi (NBAD) and the Abu Dhabi National Insurance Company (Adnic) and remains on the board of both these institutions.
With 163 UAE national and international youth, the YFEL 2012 has successfully crossed several milestones.
A part of the Masdar Institute’s Outreach programme, the YFEL offers young professionals and students from the UAE and abroad an opportunity to become more engaged in finding solutions to the world’s biggest challenges –achieving energy efficiency and tackling climate change.
