DUBAI —The ‘School Feeding Campaign’ launched by Dubai Cares,

the UAE-based philanthropic establishment founded by His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has received tremendous response from the UAE business community.

“Strongly supported by our partners, the School Feeding Campaign, which commenced on the first day of the holy month of Ramadan, aims to raise awareness among the UAE community about the lack of food and under nutrition in children in developing countries.
