The campaign was launched before Ramadan, and 385,000 donors from 51 countries took part in the drive to secure millions of meals which will be distributed in 30 countries worldwide – within 4 different continents! Vice President and Ruler of Dubai, HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, praised the UAE for its efforts and support of the campaign, saying “This is the UAE.”
Today, we conclude the UAE’s ‘100 Million Meals’ humanitarian campaign that we launched at the beginning of Ramadan. Thanks to the 385,000 participants, we secured 216 million meals, more than double our intended target, to be distributed in 30 countries. This is the UAE.

The main objective of the drive was to help the countries that suffered the hardships brought on by the pandemic. Many organizations, companies and individuals came together in support and donated to the drive, and HH Sheikh Mohammed stated again that this is proof of the UAE’s overwhelming community engagement to help and do good, and it’ll “always remain a global capital of philanthropy.”
Props to the UAE & everyone who supported the drive!
