Dar Al Ber targets 1.7 million beneficiaries in Ramadan 2026 campaign

Dubai: Dar Al Ber Society has launched its expanded Ramadan campaign for 2026, with charitable projects set to benefit more than 1.7 million people across the UAE and 24 countries worldwide.

The campaign officially began on Tuesday and aims to support vulnerable families and low-income individuals through a wide range of humanitarian initiatives throughout the holy month.

The society said the campaign aligns with the UAE leadership’s directives to strengthen charitable and humanitarian work, promote social solidarity, and ensure sustainable support for communities most in need, both locally and internationally. 

Abdullah Ali bin Zayed Al Falasi, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Dar Al Ber Society, said the estimated total cost of this year’s Ramadan initiatives amounts to Dh10 million, including Dh7 million for projects inside the UAE and Dh3 million for international aid programs.

“The campaign sets ambitious humanitarian targets aimed at supporting the poor and low-income families during Ramadan by providing food assistance, basic living needs and financial support,” Al Falasi said. 

One of the flagship initiatives of the campaign is the Iftar for fasting persons’ project.

Within the UAE, the program will provide meals to 350,000 fasting individuals at a cost of Dh3.5 million, with around 11,600 meals distributed daily across 27 locations in Dubai, Ajman and Ras Al Khaimah.

Internationally, the iftar program will benefit 661,188 fasting individuals in several countries, with an allocation of Dh1 million, through cooked meals or food parcels sufficient for an average family of five.
