    The Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department in Dubai, in cooperation with the Dubai Charitable Society, the Beit Al Khair Society, the Dar Al Ber Society, the Mohammed Bin Rashid Charitable and Humanitarian Foundation, the Emirates Red Crescent Authority - Dubai, the Khalifa bin Zayed Charitable and Humanitarian Works Foundation, Watani Al Emarat Foundation, has distributed 1,422,704 fresh meals for beneficiaries in Dubai and the northern emirates, with a value of more than AED14 million. The distribution started from Ramadan 1st to Ramadan 20th in 20 main areas and 137 distribution points, reflecting the meanings of Community cohesion to achieve the highest levels of health and safety.

    As part of its mission to honour the memory of the Founding Father, late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, and to reflect his pioneering humanitarian approach, the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Centre collaborated with the Armed Forces Officers Club & Hotel - the strategic partner of the Centre - on an initiative to distribute 15,000 Iftar meals per day during the holy month of Ramadan, for companies’ staff in labour sites located in different parts of Abu Dhabi. This message reflects the values of giving instilled by the founding father of the UAE to the world and promotes the importance of tolerance championed by the Islamic religion that does not differentiate between human beings in humanitarian action.
