The Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation has launched a Ramdan Iftar project, as part of its seasonal humanitarian projects and programmes for the Holy Month of Ramadan, that aim to benefit the largest number of people under the framework of social solidarity.

During a press conference, which was held today and attended by the foundation’s partners and sponsors, Mohammed Haji Al Khouri, Director-General of the Foundation, stated that the project will be implemented around the country and will witness the distribution of 915,000 meals, or some 30,500 daily meals, in cooperation with 305 families who will prepare the meals, as well as Emirates Post and Emirates Transport, who will deliver the meals to 105 distribution locations.

Dr. Mariam Hareb Al Suwaidi, Executive Director of the Monitoring Sector at the Abu Dhabi Food Control Authority, said that the authority supports productive families in Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and Al Dhafra, by providing training and inspecting and supervising the activities of the facilities and kitchens where the Iftar meals will be prepared, to ensure that they comply with food safety standards.

She added that the sector is raising the awareness of productive families, in coordination with its partners, by holding training courses and awareness meetings, and directly communicating with them through inspection teams.

She also highlighted their ongoing coordination with the foundation to empower productive families, as well as their cooperation with the Ramadan Iftar project, to improve the knowledge and skills of families in selecting ingredients and preparing various meals, which has led to a surge in the number of productive families and an improvement in the quality of food.
