Al Haddad stated that donors and philanthropists from both inside and outside the country may donate Zakat money in cash and urged them to support the campaign, which was launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, and implemented by the Mohammed bin Rashid Global Initiatives (MBRG), in cooperation with the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Humanitarian and Charity Establishment, the Food Banking Regional Network, the World Food Programme, and relevant charity and humanitarian associations.
"This initiative embodies a great sense of transparency and giving towards poor people around the world who need food and similar initiatives, to feed their hunger during the Holy Month," Dr. Al Haddad said.
Helping the campaign is a blessed and beneficial contribution to feeding poor fasting people, he added while urging everyone to donate, affirming, "We must support this campaign with whatever we can, as it will feed hungry and poor people and meet their needs during Ramadan."
