Ramadan 2022 in UAE: Sheikh Mohammed announces one billion meals initiative  - News | Khaleej Times

The initiative – announced last month – will run till the target is achieved.


In a tweet, the Dubai Ruler dubbed the drive “one billion noble messages from the UAE to the world”.

“Ramadan is the month of fasting where we feel the agony of 800 million people who sleep hungry every day,” Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid tweeted.

“A person who sleeps with a full stomach while his neighbour is hungry is not a believer.” This is the motto of the campaign. Under the campaign, food parcels will be offered to the vulnerable communities and the disadvantaged.

It is being organised by Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI). The drive is an extension of the UAE’s ‘100 Million Meals’ launched during Ramadan in 2021.


The campaign provided food parcels and instant smart vouchers to millions of people across four continents.
