Abdullah Sultan Bin Khadim, Executive Director of the association, said the initiative reflects the organisation’s commitment to sharing the blessings and joy of the occasion with workers and families in need.
He said the meals were carefully prepared to provide balanced and complete nutrition suited to the needs of beneficiaries, adding that the initiative was designed around the values of dignity, respect and appreciation for every recipient.
Bin Khadim noted that extensive coordination efforts were carried out to ensure the meals reached beneficiaries on time and in an organised manner that respected privacy while also addressing crowd density in targeted locations.
The distribution process was overseen by volunteer teams and field staff working under the direct supervision of the association’s teams across its cities and branches.
He added that the “Day of Arafah Meals” initiative is part of a wider package of humanitarian and seasonal projects launched by the association during the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah.
The projects include facilitating Hajj trips for pilgrims, financial relief support, treatment for critical medical cases, distribution of sacrificial meat, Eid clothing initiatives, as well as construction, water and healthcare projects both within the UAE and abroad.
