The UAE has launched a global humanitarian initiative to feed one billion people across the world in time for Ramadan 2022.
His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, announced the campaign on his Twitter account on Thursday.
The global initiative will start on the first day of Ramadan. Details about the process of donation for the campaign has yet to be announced.
“Brothers and sisters, today we announce the one billion meals campaign for the poor and the needy around the world,” said the Vice President. “The campaign will begin at the beginning of the holy month and will continue for the coming years until the goal is achieved.”

During the holy month last year, the UAE had distributed 100 million meals to the most vulnerable communities in the world. The initiative was organized by the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI).
