The UAE has launched another humanitarian initiative in time for Ramadan 2020 titled “10 Million Meals” that ensures that no one currently in the country will be hungry for the entire duration during country’s annual period of solemnity and fasting.
In a video posted from the Dubai Media Office, the 10 Million Meals is dubbed as “The Nation’s Biggest Food Distribution Drive” in an initiative spearheaded by Her Highness Sheikha Hind bint Maktoum bin Juma Al Maktoum.

Recipients of the initiative will get food delivered straight to their homes as the video also urges the public to act and make donations from their own home via mobile or through their computers.
“In the UAE, no one sleeps hungry. No one sleeps in need. No one is left behind,” said the statement from the video.

The ‘10 million meals’ campaign is the UAE’s biggest community campaign, launched under the umbrella of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives in collaboration with Social Solidarity Fund Against COVID-19, to provide food assistance to less fortunate families and individuals.
The campaign enables corporates, entities, humanitarian and charitable organizations, businessmen, philanthropists and the public to make financial contributions towards providing meals or donate food items and parcels to be directly distributed to families and individuals across the UAE. The ’10 million meals’ campaign comes in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the biggest threat currently facing humanity, that caused a paralleled health crisis with multiple economic and social repercussions.
