DUBAI, 3rd April, 2023 (WAM) — Landmark Group announced that it will be contributing AED5 million towards the “1 Billion Meals Endowment” campaign, launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, to establish the largest Ramadan sustainable food aid endowment fund.
Organised by Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives, the campaign aims to create sustainable solutions and implement effective programmes to fight hunger and support underprivileged populations.
Inspiring initiatives
Renuka Jagtiani, Chairwoman of Landmark Group said, “The UAE has become known for launching inspiring humanitarian drives during Ramadan. Our contribution to the largest Ramadan food aid endowment fund reflects our commitment to giving and represents Landmark Group’s philosophy of creating exceptional value for all lives we touch.”
“The campaign is particularly significant at a time when tens of millions of people struggle with hunger and food insecurity. Every little contribution to this endowment fund will positively impact the lives of the vulnerable, including children, refugees, displaced persons and victims of crises and natural disasters,” she added.
