Residents bid emotional adieu to Emirati philanthropist in Umm Al Quwain
Umm Al Quwain - She had turned her house into a hub for those in need of help.
She did not have any children or relatives.
After the death of her husband years back, she found herself alone and turned her house into a hub for those in need of help.
"She preferred to stay at her old house in the Old District in Umm Al Quwain, and refused to move to a new one," he added. "She was in love with traditional houses."
It was then that His Highness Sheikh Saud bin Rashid Al Mualla, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Umm Al Quwain, directed the authorities to convince her to relocate to a new villa.
"Sheikh Saud ordered a plot of land be dedicated for her at the Sheikh Khalifa locality, and a fully furnished villa be built for her."
The villa, completed in less than six months, was registered in her name, he pointed out. "An Emirati consultant took care of the villa's design and supervised its construction for free."
Later, Amena developed some respiratory problems and was shifted to a hospital. "Her room in the hospital used to be flooded with her fans and well-wishers."
"It is really sad to lose a kind-hearted woman like her. Hundreds of people were keen to participate in her funeral to pay tribute to her boundless kindness and generosity."

"Amena Abdullah became an iconic philanthropist in the emirate of Umm Al Quwain, and her actions spoke volumes (about her generosity)," said Rashid Hamad Al Hamar, general manager of Saud Bin Rashid Al Mualla Charitable and Humanitarian Establishment.

Why Amena ABDULLAH was called a saviour of the needy
After Amena Abdullah Ali bin Dhahi's husband passed away, she found herself alone in a big house. She didn't have any children to take care of or any relatives. So she turned her villa into a place where anyone could just walk in for help. Such was her popularity that she was moved to a new fully furnished villa (pictured above), where she continued her charitable endeavours.
