JETEX, a prominent executive aviation company headquartered in Dubai, has committed to donating AED5 Million over the next five years to support the “1 Billion Meals Endowment” initiative. Launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, the campaign aims to create the largest Ramadan sustainable food aid endowment fund in order to provide a food safety net for underprivileged populations and combat hunger worldwide, particularly among vulnerable groups.
Adel Mardini, CEO of JETEX, highlighted that their contribution embodies the spirit of giving and solidarity that is deeply rooted in the UAE community. He emphasized the company’s dedication to social responsibility and supporting humanitarian efforts not only in the UAE but globally, promoting the values of tolerance and human solidarity.
The “1 Billion Meals Endowment” campaign builds upon the achievements of previous food aid initiatives, such as the “10 Million Meals” campaign in Ramadan 2020, the “100 Million Meals” campaign in Ramadan 2021, and the “1 Billion Meals” campaign in Ramadan 2022. The campaign aims to rejuvenate the concept of endowments as a developmental tool and a crucial contributor to the global fight against hunger, aligning with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The campaign warmly welcomes donations and contributions to the endowment fund from both individuals and institutions via five primary channels: the campaign’s website, a dedicated call center, bank transfers, SMS donations, and the DubaiNow app.
