Dubai: Emirates Islamic Bank has donated Dh9 million to the Tarahum Charity Foundation, an organisation that provides humanitarian relief to those in need.

Through its contribution to the Tarahum Foundation, the bank hopes to reach out to the wider community and provide support on an individual basis.

“Tarahum Foundation helps Emirates Islamic to reach out to individuals who have specific needs, and we are very pleased to lend our support to them,” said Awatif Al Harmoodi, general manager, Operational Quality & Processes, Emirates Islamic.
