This aircraft will be on regular service routes, offering aviation fans around the world an opportunity to catch a glimpse of the livery and share in the Foundation’s mission.
The Emirates Airline Foundation
Founded under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, the Emirates Airline Foundation has been making a meaningful impact for over 20 years. The Foundation partners with community-based organizations and NGOs to provide essential services such as safe housing, food, medical care, and education to children in need. Through these efforts, the Foundation aims to create sustainable and lasting change in the communities it serves, regardless of geography, background, or religion.
To date, the Foundation has supported over 50 projects in nine countries, including the Emirates-CHES Home in India, which provides care for HIV-positive children, and the Prithipura Communities in Sri Lanka, which supports children and young adults with disabilities. In Africa, the Foundation has made significant contributions to education and healthcare, funding everything from meal programs in Kenya to early childhood education initiatives in South Africa.
How to Get Involved
Emirates is encouraging its customers and supporters to contribute to the Foundation’s ongoing projects. Donations can be made both onboard and online, with all funds directly supporting the various programs and services provided by the Foundation.
