dnata strengthens long-term support to Dubai Cares by embedding fundraising activities within internal corporate services

Dubai, United Arab Emirates – 25 March 2019:   Dubai Cares, part of Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives, announced today a key milestone in its longstanding relationship with dnata. Since 2014, dnata's Dubai office has been a very proactive and committed donor by supporting the Adopt a School initiative and contributing to the adoption of a total of 8 schools in Malawi, Senegal, Nepal and Cambodia. Emboldened by the success of its annual contributions to Dubai Cares, dnata is taking the partnership to a new high by embedding its fundraising efforts within its internal corporate activities, enabling its staff and clients to demonstrate their continuous generosity and support throughout the year. Funds that are raised through internal office activities and collected via donation boxes placed within dnata's premises, as well as via wire transfer, will be allocated to at least one or more schools as part of the Adopt a School program.

 

Commenting on the inspiring move by dnata, Abdulla Ahmed Al Shehhi, Chief Operating Officer at Dubai Cares, said: “dnata has been a very committed and generous donor to our Adopt a School initiative over the past 5 years, and we are extremely grateful for their continuous support and dedication. Given the magnitude of dnata's operations, we have no doubt that this strategic shift will be fruitful and boost our initiatives with our partners even further. We always value the support from large successful corporations such as dnata, and we hope this sets an example that will inspire many more corporates.”
