Dubai: Al Ansari Exchange on Tuesday announced a donation of Dh1 million in support of the ‘1 Billion Meals’ initiative, the largest campaign of its kind in the region to feed the underprivileged and undernourished, especially vulnerable groups, including children, refugees, displaced persons, and those affected by crises and natural disasters in 50 countries around the world.
Al Ansari Exchange’s contribution to the most comprehensive food support initiative in the history of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives, the organiser of the campaign, will help provide food support for the hungry and those suffering from malnutrition due to their difficult social and humanitarian condition.
