DUBAI, 8th May, 2021 (WAM) To ensure swift and efficient food parcels distribution to beneficiaries in 30 countries, the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI) has partnered with the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Humanitarian and Charity Establishment (MBRCH), the Food Banking Regional Network (FBRN), and local charitable organisations in targeted countries.
Distribution of food parcels carrying basic and essential food items has already began in several countries, and will continue until all donated meals.
An auction of artworks in Dubai, which included pieces from Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, and Nelson Mandela, has raised €8.2 million for charity.
The event, held at the Mandarin Oriental Jumeirah hotel on April 24, saw art-loving philanthropists dig deep into their pockets to support the 100 Million Meals campaign.
The initiative is the biggest food drive in the MENA region and, as its name suggests, aims to provide 100 million meals for disadvantaged individuals and families in 20 different countries.
The auction was streamed live online and bidding was also carried out remotely.
As well as works from legendary artists pieces from iconic individuals not best known for their artistry were featured in the action.
