As Manal Bin-Yaarouf, Head of the Executive Team of the UAE Food Bank,

explained, “Ferjan Dubai will extend media support to the UAE Food Bank’s
events throughout the holy month of Ramadan. This collaboration aims to

actively engage with the bank in conveying its message, promoting the

principles of community responsibility and volunteerism, reinforcing the

importance of responsible food handling, and raising awareness among

various segments of society, including youth, partners and volunteers.”

Alia Alshamlan, Director of Ferjan Dubai, said: “Through careful collection,

processing and distribution of food waste adhering to top standards, we will

ensure that surplus food reaches the beneficiaries, fostering a humanitarian

approach to nourishment. In addition, it will contribute to the promotion of the
concepts of recycling excess and non-consumable food, positively impacting

environmental sustainability and reducing the carbon footprint associated with

food waste.”

Accordingly, Ferjan Dubai will furnish informational content on the Food

Bank’s initiatives, campaigns and programmes related to reducing food waste
throughout Ramadan. It will include best practices to minimise food waste and

enhance the efficient utilisation of food within households.

Ferjan Dubai connects thousands of residents across a number of
neighbourhoods in Dubai. Besides its online and social media platforms, it

also helps engage residents in a number of community activities, which will

also help spread the word about the food waste campaign.
