Towards this an event was jointly organised by UAE Exchange and WFP.
The global money transferrer has a wider CSR mandate, which spans across various countries and the initiative in Africa was one such significant gesture in its campaign to make the world a better place to live and to contribute to the cause of fighting hunger among school children in Africa. Daily school meals encourage parents to send their children to school regularly and help students concentrate better in class.
Announcing a contribution of AED 100,000 to WFP’s school meals programmes in Africa, Mr. Y Sudhir Kumar Shetty, COO – Global Operations, UAE Exchange, said, “This contribution is an endorsement of the great efforts done by WFP to fight hunger in Africa and a humble step from our side to contribute to causes as pertinent as hunger and food security. As a brand, which mainly serves the ‘bottom-of-the-pyramid’ segment, we understand the difficulty of scarcity in life, especially that of food. We are more than glad to support WFP for the cause.”
