This also helps achieve the objectives of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives Foundation, as we come under its umbrella. We achieve this by implementing development projects and providing potable water for communities that suffer from water scarcity and pollution, in cooperation with the concerned local and international organisations. The number of beneficiaries from Suqia’s projects exceeds 13.6 million in 37 countries around the world," Al Tayer said.
