The Hussain Sajwani – DAMAC Foundation (HSDF), founded in 2017 by Founder and Chairman of the DAMAC Group – Hussain Sajwani, embodies this commitment, consolidating our philanthropic initiatives under a unified vision of impactful social change.
The vision of HSDF is rooted in our commitment to continuously support causes that empower underprivileged communities and unlock their full potential.

We aim to collaborate with local and global partners who share our vision of creating sustainable change and promoting social justice. By focusing on empowering these communities, particularly youth and vulnerable groups, we strive to cultivate environments where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
Furthermore, our future endeavours will emphasise long-term impact and sustainability, ensuring that our initiatives not only address immediate needs but also contribute to lasting improvements in quality of life.
Through strategic planning and innovative solutions, HSDF seeks to lead by example in corporate social responsibility, inspiring others within the DAMAC community and beyond to join us in making a meaningful difference.
As we look ahead, the Hussain Sajwani – DAMAC Foundation remains dedicated to advancing our mission of enhancing societal well-being, championing education, and promoting inclusivity across the regions we serve.
Together with our stakeholders and partners, we are committed to creating a future where every individual, regardless of background or circumstance, has the opportunity to thrive and contribute to a more equitable world.
