The Cancer Patient Care Society - Rahma is a public charitable society. Its main goal is to serve the UAE community by financially supporting cancer patients to receive treatment, providing information and raise awareness about various types of cancer.
Rahma was established in 2015, under Abu Dhabi Executive Council Resolution No. 13 of 2015, and legalized under the Ministry of Community Development Resolution No. 760 of 2015. It also attained a religious advisory ruling (Fatwa) from the General Authority of Islamic Affairs & Endowments allowing it to accept Zakat funds and to use them in its charitable activities, and also included in the list of licensed charities to collect donations under Ministerial Resolution No. (238) of 2023. Rahma’s budget depends on donations from individuals and various entities in the UAE.
To remove the prevailing negative idea among the majority of society that cancer is a death sentence for the patient, and to promote optimism among patients about the possibility of recovery, acceptance of treatment, and not withdrawing from facing the disease. And to share success stories of those who have been cured from it, and to inspire hope in the hearts of patients and their families.
To Show solidarity with financially disadvantaged cancer patients is an embodiment of the cultural and humanitarian values of the United Arab Emirates, which are based on the teachings of Islam. Our mission also represents the directives of the wise leadership to follow in the footsteps of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan (may God rest his soul in peace) by providing goodness, giving to the poor, supporting those in need, and assisting the sick.
