London, 21 October 2025 – H.H. Sheikha Bodour bint Sultan Al Qasimi, Founder and Chairperson of Kalimat Foundation, toured the Zayed Centre for Research into Rare Disease in Children to learn more about its pioneering efforts in developing advanced treatments for rare paediatric conditions.

To mark the visit, the Kalimat Foundation donated a portable children’s library to Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) as part of its ‘Pledge a Library’ initiative. The library, featuring 100 Arabic and English books, aims to inspire curiosity and creativity for young patients receiving treatment at the hospital, and give them the chance to escape from their reality into a world of imagination and dreams, filled with warmth and joy.

“We believe stories have the power to heal and connect. Through the Pledge a Library initiative, Kalimat Foundation seeks to give children hope when they need it the most. In a place focused on healing the body, stories help heal the heart and mind. We hope these books offer a moment of calm and joy during a difficult time,” said H.H. Sheikha Bodour bint Sultan Al Qasimi, Founder and Chairperson of Kalimat Foundation.
