Dubai Humanitarian has partnered with ThinkSmart, a content creation space, to launch a series of innovative campaigns designed to enhance community engagement and amplify outreach efforts. This strategic collaboration aims to leverage diverse platforms to unite individuals and inspire collective action for humanitarian causes.
Dubai Humanitarian, formerly known as the International Humanitarian City, is the largest humanitarian hub in the world. It was founded in 2003 by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Dubai. As the only non-profit, independent, humanitarian free-zone Authority, Dubai Humanitarian hosts a diverse community of approximately 80 members. This community comprises international entities such as UN organizations, non-profits, non-governmental organizations, and commercial companies, collectively working to advance humanitarian and development efforts worldwide.
The partnership will officially launch with the Dubai Marathon 2025, where both entities will encourage participants to ‘Run for Humanity.’ This initiative seeks to mobilize the community, fostering a spirit of togetherness while supporting meaningful causes.
As part of this campaign, participants and supporters will have the opportunity to make charitable contributions. Proceeds from the event will be directed to Dubai Humanitarian’s nonprofit members, helping to strengthen emergency preparedness, response and long-term development programs. These funds will enhance disaster response capabilities, equipping communities to effectively respond to crises and provide life-saving assistance to those in need.
Giuseppe Saba, CEO and Board Member of Dubai Humanitarian, said that Dubai Marathon serves as a perfect platform to bring people together, raise awareness, and mobilize vital resources to support global humanitarian efforts.
