Dubai: More than 7,000 packed iftar meals were distributed across labour accommodations in the UAE during Ramadan as part of an annual programme organised by Al Ansari Exchange.
The UAE-based foreign exchange and worldwide money transfer company created a special committee from among its staff members, who volunteered to distribute meals in labour accommodations.
The team were tasked with implementing the highest levels of hygiene and safety standards as they distributed the meals.
The programme is in line with the company’s corporate social responsibility initiatives for Ramadan.
“We, at Al Ansari Exchange, are especially committed towards programmes and initiatives that will help enhance the mental, physical, and spiritual well-being of members of our society. In the spirit of Ramadan, we wanted to direct our assistance to the less fortunate individuals by providing them with nourishment,” said Rashid Ali Al Ansari, General Manager of Al Ansari Exchange.
“The campaign was carried out by our own staff volunteers, as they do every year, and covered the seven emirates of the UAE,” he added.
