Arakkal Gold and Diamonds has donated AED 100,000 for the One Billion Meals Project in UAE, a flagship programme kickstarted by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai to aid the needy and underprivileged spread across the globe. The cheque worth AED 100,000 was handed over by Mr. Muneer Noorudheen, Executive Director and Mr. Afsal
Arakkal, Retail Director, to Mr. Yousef Ahmed Alhamadi and Mr. Imad Hassan Sofyan, representing the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI) foundation. The ceremony was held at the headquarters of Al Mamsar Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Humanitarian and Charity Establishments in Dubai. Mr. Aneez Arakkal, Co-founder and CEO, Mr. Thanveer CP, Chairman and Mr. Thahir Mohamed, Executive Director, greatly support this magnanimous humanitarian initiative.
Implemented by the renowned MBRGI foundation for its charitable and philanthropic activities, the One Billion Meals project was set in motion to provide food-related assistance to those in need over an extended period of time. With more than 800 million people in the world suffering from hunger and its aftermath, this project has established an endowment fund that would help in the effective creation and execution of food assistance programmes that are sustainable in the long run. With this generous donation, Arakkal Gold and Diamonds hopes to inspire the community at large to do good, espouse the significance of charity in our daily lives and ultimately usher hope and health into the lives of the marginalised and disadvantaged.
