Local Orphans & Needy Families in the UAE See Organic Food Benefits for the first time Thanks to AED 85,000 Donation from Koita Organic Milk

Dubai, September 1st 2015 – Dubai-based Organic Food and Distribution Company, Koita has continued with their ethos to give back to the local community by donating AED 85,000, in both packs of their nutritious Koita Organic Certified Milk and cash, to Al-Ihsan Charity for Orphans and Needy families in the UAE. The largest single donation made by the company to date, the delicious and healthy milk with added halal vitamins A and D3 will be used to improve the well-being of those in need, most of whom have never come into contact with organic products before.

"Living in Dubai we all take for granted the great lifestyles we have.” Said Mustafa Yusuf Koita, Founder and Owner of Koita. “Unfortunately there are many underprivileged families we don’t see and with our continued charity work we want them to be noticed and supported.  As giving back is part of the Koita company mandate, we are very proud to be helping the Al-Ihsan Charity. We hope this initiative will also encourage others to give back to such a worthy and needed cause.”

"Our children and families really appreciate this nutritious donation from Koita Organic Milk.” Says H.H. Sheikh Abdul Aziz Bin Ali Al Nuaimi, Executive President, Al-Ihsan Charity Association. “It is the first time these families have felt the benefit of organic produce, and something which will really help their health.  Koita is doing a lot of great things in the local UAE community and we commend them for their contribution."    

Al-Ihsan is a not-for-profit organisation that has been operating in the UAE since 1990, providing financial aid and health assistance and undertaking rehabilitation projects for families in need in the UAE.  For example approximately 12,000 orphans and needy families are given free medical attention via Al-Ihsan hospital.  In addition their food donation program is one of the largest in the region.  Volunteers can sponsor families and school education for orphans or make direct donations in cash or kind to the centre, by visiting their website.
