Mr. Ahmed Al Muhairi, Executive Director of the Charity Work Sector at the Department, said: 'The 'Meals of Hope' initiative was launched in conjunction with Zayed Humanitarian Day, and through cooperation with charitable organizations and institutions in Dubai. Various groups in the community can order meals directly, using the Zomato electronic food delivery platform. Addressing concerns on the delivery of meals by different restaurants, a number of restaurants have been selected based on the Department’s criteria on excellent environment for food delivery and the quality of food.

“By launching and activating this initiative, we aim to achieve significant growth in humanitarian philanthropy, raise the level of public happiness, and focus on the efficiency of delivering iftar meals to the Al Quoz region during the first stage and then to various locations and regions of Dubai after the end of the holy month of Ramadan, in order to maintain the sustainability of the project throughout the year.”

(Zumato) to deliver the meal to their address directly.

At the same time, donors can make donations through the digital platform itself, while ordering their meals on a regular basis.

Dahi said the idea of 'meals of hope' is reflected in the humanitarian side of feeding food, by means of fast available, without financial costs, or effort borne by the needy, and the beneficiary can take the 'meal of hope' by eating meals at the restaurant, or free delivery of meals The restaurant will be selected in cooperation with Dubai Islamic. The initiative will allow Zumato to participate with charities to contribute to feed those in need and fasting people.
