The "Your Donation is Life" initiative succeeded in its second season, launched by Emirates Today in collaboration with the Al Jalila Foundation under Dubai Health Authority and the Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department in Dubai. The initiative raised a total of AED46,157,970 to fund kidney transplants for 67 patients suffering from kidney failure, thanks to contributions from eight government, private, and charitable organizations, as well as 20 individual donors from the community.

The national community initiative began four months ago and achieved its set goal by the end of this year by encouraging the private sector, businesspeople, and the public to support the initiative and provide the necessary assistance to the targeted group. Kidney transplants were carried out for some of the patients involved, with the remaining surgeries planned to take place gradually.

Emirates Today, the Al Jalila Foundation, and the Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department in Dubai signed an agreement on September 24 to launch a national community initiative to help 67 patients suffering from kidney failure who could not afford the cost of kidney transplant surgeries, putting their lives at risk.

In addition, they covered the necessary medication and provided follow-up care for the patients for two years after the surgeries.
