‘Free the Children’ supporter and actor, Michael Douglas, took time out from filming this week to visit Dubai and receive the donation from Nakheel.

The Nakheel donation, which is part of its long-term partnership with ‘Free the Children’, will be spent in programmes addressing water sanitation and water access issues in Third World countries, including Kenya and Sri Lanka, thus positively impacting the lives of about 200,000 people.

According to United Nations health reports, water and sanitation are the largest issues affecting the world’s population.
