In order to achieve these goals, the UAE in recent years has implemented a number of projects in a number of regions of Pakistan, such as Road Networks, Education, and Healthcare, Agriculture and access to Clean Drinking Water. The effort has helped to alleviate the suffering of citizens, has enabled them to fight off diseases and, at the same time, has provided a large number of students with experience that helped them start a career. The projects implemented by the UAE in Pakistan are purely humanitarian and not-for-profit. They are aimed at fighting poverty worldwide, in compliance with the principles of our religion, and in support of the UN efforts and campaigns to provide millions of underprivileged people with the basic needs of a decent life. The UAEPAP seeks to make its projects of sustainable benefit for the good of beneficiaries, both now and in the future and for the good of the future generation. Upon the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, 151 projects have been launched in Education, Health, Agriculture, Safe Drinking Water and Infrastructure to provide assistance to the people of Pakistan.
