Sankari Fashion Group and Sankari Investment Group have pledged AED 50 million towards the “1 Billion Meals Endowment” campaign. The initiative’s aim is to establish the largest Ramadan food aid endowment fund, operating sustainably to provide food security for the world’s most disadvantaged populations, especially those affected by natural disasters and crises. The campaign is the latest addition to the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives, which seeks to enhance the effectiveness and sustainability of humanitarian work through various institutional initiatives, including the provision of healthcare, education, innovation, and community empowerment.
The Sankari family’s donation will be made in annual installments of AED 10 million over the next five years and will support sustainable measures to combat hunger and provide food security for vulnerable populations worldwide. Dr. Abdulkader Sankari, Founder of the Groups, expressed his gratitude to be part of such a generous initiative aimed at easing the suffering of others, which aligns with the UAE community’s values of giving and generosity.
