Dubai, UAE: – IFFCO Group, one of the most diversified food and non-food manufacturing groups in the UAE, has announced a donation of AED1 million to support the humanitarian efforts of the region’s largest campaign of its kind to provide food support to the underprivileged and undernourished in less fortunate communities across 50 countries.

IFFCO Group’s donation, equivalent to one million meals, is a generous addition to the donations of numerous other benefactors to the initiative launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.

The 1 Billion Meals initiative, launched at the beginning of the Holy Month of Ramadan, is a continuation of the 10 Million Meals launched in Ramadan 2020 in direct response to the repercussions of COVID-19, and last year’s 100 Million Meals, which surpassed its target, collecting and distributing 220 million meals in 47 countries. In its efforts to provide food aid to those in need, the initiative contributes to the United Nations’ Sustainability Development Goals, especially to achieve ‘zero hunger’ by 2030.
