Noor Dubai Foundation

“Noor Dubai Foundation: Illuminating lives globally as a pillar of the UAE’s commitment to
eradicating preventable blindness and visual impairment.”

Established in 2010, The Noor Dubai Foundation is a shining emblem of the United Arab Emirates’
commitment to global philanthropy and healthcare improvement. As a prominent UAE foreign
aid donor, the Foundation is dedicated to eradicating preventable causes of blindness and visual
impairment on an international scale. Founded with a vision of a world where no individual is
needlessly blind or visually impaired, Noor Dubai’s efforts extend far beyond its local boundaries.
From launching expansive eye treatment projects in developing countries to championing the fight
against neglected tropical diseases like trachoma, the Foundation exemplifies the spirit of giving
and international solidarity inherent in the UAE’s ethos.

By partnering with regional health bureaus, global pharmaceutical giants, and grassroots healthcare
workers, the Noor Dubai Foundation not only addresses immediate healthcare needs but also
works towards building resilient health systems for sustainable impact. Through its initiatives, the
Foundation encapsulates the UAE’s vision of a world united in health, well-being, and prosperity.
