Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, Managing Director and CEO, DEWA, said, “DEWA is honoured to be a key supporter of the ‘1 Billion Meals Endowment’ campaign, launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, whose efforts in this regard made charity and humanitarian work into a lifestyle in the UAE, making our nation a role model for giving and solidarity.

“DEWA is keen to actively participate in ‘1 Billion Meals Endowment’ campaign as part of its commitment to social responsibility and to make the world a better place to live. We also support the campaign’s aim to provide a food safety net and food aid to those who need it without discrimination, and to help fight hunger – a key challenge to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals for 2030,” he added.

The “1 Billion Meals Endowment” campaign is still accepting donations and contributions to the endowment fund through five main channels.
