Arakkal Gold and Diamonds has donated Dh100,000 for the 'One Billion Meals' project in UAE, a flagship programme kickstarted by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai to aid the needy and underprivileged spread across the globe. The cheque worth Dh100,000 was handed over by Muneer Noorudheen, executive director and Afsal Arakkal, retail director, to Yousef Ahmed Alhamadi and Imad Hassan Sofyan, representing the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI) foundation.
