“Providing food during the holy month of Ramadan is the best we can give from the UAE to humanity. the COVID-19 pandemic has pushed many populations into economic despair and pushed us, at the same time, to be more compassionate and giving.”
HH Sheikh Mohammed is also urging citizens and people across the world to join this campaign. He said,
“We will work with humanitarian organizations, companies, entities and humanitarians to join us in securing 100 million meals to bring a sense of safety to underserved homes across the world.”
The campaign is part of the UAE’s response to global efforts to combat world hunger, a challenge that’s worsened by the outbreak of COVID-19 that has pushed millions of disadvantaged populations to greater insecurity, poverty and unemployment. It also aims to support the international community in achieving the second of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to end hunger by 2030.
