Here's how you can contribute to UAE's 1 billion meals campaign

The UAE's '1 Billion Meals Endowment' campaign has announced five channels through which individuals and institutions can send their contributions.

The food aid endowment fund was launched recently by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.

Coinciding with the holy month of Ramadan, the campaign aims to mobilise local, regional and international efforts to implement sustainable programmes to eradicate hunger and create a food safety net for the underprivileged.

Individuals, government entities, private organisations, businessmen and philanthropists can donate through the campaign’s website, SMS, bank transfers, a dedicated call centre or the DubaiNow app.
