Lulu Group Chairman Donates AED1 Million
To UAE’s 100 Million Meals campaign
His Highness Sheikh Mohammad bin Rashid earlier announced an initiative to donate 100 million meals across 20 countries.
In light of that many contributed, UAE based Indian businessman M.A. Yusuff Ali, chairman of Lulu Group, has donated D1 million to the region’s largest food drive the ‘100 Million Meals’ campaign.
Donating is open to everyone inside and outside UAE as the campaign aims to provide food parcels to disadvantaged families and individuals across 20 countries in the Middle East, Asia and Africa throughout the month of Ramadan. Every Dh1 provides the basic food items that can prepare one meal in beneficiary countries.
Yusuff Ali said: “The ‘100 Million Meals’ campaign is one of the most distinguished humanitarian initiatives, as it coincides with the Holy month of Ramadan and aims to lend a helping hand to families and groups most affected by the pandemic.”
“As a socially committed organization, we have always believed in giving back to the community, and we pledge all our support for this noble deed,” said Yusuff Ali.
The ‘100 Million Meals’ campaign runs in collaboration with the United Nations World Food Program, the Food Banking Regional Network and charitable and humanitarian organizations in beneficiary countries to ensure food parcels are delivered at the doorsteps of underserved families and individuals in countries including Egypt, Jordan, Angola, Uganda, Pakistan, Syria and Sudan.
