emirates7 - Sobha Realty has announced a donation of AED 1 million to the '1 Billion Meals' initiative under the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI), to provide food support to the underprivileged and the undernourished in 50 countries around the world.
The campaign will especially target vulnerable groups such as children, refugees, displaced persons and those affected by disasters and crises.
Sobha, donating the equivalent of 1 million meals, is one of several UAE companies that are making a significant financial contribution to the '1 Billion Meals' initiative, which is helping to alleviate the hunger experienced by 800 million people worldwide every day.
PNC Menon, Chairman of Sobha Group, said, "It is a great honour and privilege to support the '1 Billion Meals' initiative, initiated under the wise leadership of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. As someone who values humanitarian efforts and embraces the teachings of the Holy Month of Ramadan, it is my commitment to work towards the welfare and development of societies by helping alleviate hunger and uplift the weaker sections in our community. Moreover, I am greatly impressed by how the campaign upholds the UAE’s efforts to give back to the community as it grows, further accentuating the country’s generous character."
