“True to the vision of its leadership, the UAE continues to launch charity and humanitarian initiatives that aid the poor and the underprivileged within an institutional framework that ensures sustainable charity under one banner: all charity efforts fall under the same vision and seek the same outcomes.
The MBRCH is keen to contribute to such efforts, so that their benefits reach those in need everywhere.
Mohammed bin Rashid Humanitarian and Charity Establishment has been an active contributor to such efforts, including previous food aid drives, donating to both “10 Million Meals” and “100 Million Meals” campaigns, and contributing financial to “1 Billion Meals” campaign in 2022.
The “1 Billion Meals Endowment” campaign aims to revive the culture of endowment as a tool for development that helps achieve sustainable charity and supports the global endeavour to eradicate hunger in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Individuals can donate across five main channels including the campaign’s website (www.1billionmeals.ae), as well as a dedicated call center via the toll free number (800 9999). Donations are also possible via bank transfers in the UAE dirham to the campaign bank account number with Emirates NBD (AE30 0260 0010 1533 3439 802). Donations via SMS give contributors the option to donate Dh1 daily through a monthly subscription, by sending the word “Meal” to 1020 for du users, or to 1110 for Etisalat by e& users.
