To ensure swit and efficient food parcels distribution to beneficiaries in 30 countries, the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI) has partnered with the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Humanitarian and Charity Establishment (MBRCH), the Food Banking Regional Network (FBRN), and local charitable organisations in targeted countries.

Distribution of food parcels carrying basic and essential food items has already begun in several countries, and will continue until all donated meals reach the target groups in the Middle East, Africa, Asia and South America over the next three months.

Donations from 385,000 individuals, private and public companies and businessmen across 51 countries helped secure food parcels equivalent to 216 million meals, more than the double of the campaign’s initial target, to be distributed to vulnerable groups in 30 countries.

Dr Moez El Shohdi, Founder and CEO of the FBRN, said, “We extend our sincere appreciation to MBRGI for efforts behind the ‘100 Million Meals’ campaign, which will undoubtedly be a reference for similar future initiatives centred at the ultimate humanitarian goal of eliminating world hunger.”
