Emirates Islamic and Emirates NBD announced a donation of Dh6.5 million towards the 1 Billion Meals Endowment campaign, launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to establish the largest Ramadan sustainable food aid endowment fund.
Organised by Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives, the campaign aims to develop sustainable solutions and implement effective measures to fight hunger and support underprivileged populations around the world.
Hesham Abdulla Al Qassim, Vice Chairman and Managing Director at Emirates NBD and Chairman of Emirates Islamic, said: “This campaign maximizes the efficiency of charity efforts through organised group contributions to help fight hunger, and is a true reflection of the UAE’s message of giving and generosity to the whole world."
The 1 Billion Meals Endowment campaign further establishes the UAE’s role as an active contributor to efforts of fighting hunger and facing humanitarian challenges regionally and globally.
In line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals for 2030, among which is the fight against hunger, the campaign is the latest addition to Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives’ portfolio of dozens of humanitarian and charity projects around the world.
