Ibrahim Ali Khadem, Program Manager, stated that the program’s first phase was
launched in Hatta region over three days, during which more than 8,700 meals were
distributed. He subsequently proceeded to highlight the second and third phases,
held at Za’beel Park in Dubai, which surpassed the distribution of 12,000 breakfast
meals and Suhoor. These events were held amid a spirit of community cooperation
and familiarity, with the participation of citizens and resident chefs.
The program was sponsored by a group of private food institutions and companies,
dedicated to supplying all necessary materials and equipment for kitchen setups.
This support was instrumental in ensuring the program’s success and achieving its
key objectives.
