A joint philanthropic initiative between the DAMAC Group and its Founder, Hussain Sajwani. As a home-grown Company, we feel it is important to give back to the community in which we operate, one that has given us so much. The foundation is keen to unlock the full potential of the region’s skills through education and hard work. This is the path Sajwani followed and the path he has put his children on. Contributing to a sustainable future for generations to come, he aims to empower the wider community within the Arab region.

Our Mission
The Hussain Sajwani – DAMAC Foundation aims to improve the livelihoods of others, through foundational learning and skills development initiatives that address the unmet needs of the communities that DAMAC operates in.

Commitments

Going forward, the foundation will assess unmet needs in the community that could contribute towards sustainability and improved livelihood of people in the Arab community through education and learning.
