Our relationship with the UAE and its people was established over 45 years ago and we are proud to be able to contribute to such an important initiative, which will provide urgent food aid to millions of people around the world.

While Vikas Chadha, CEO of Jumbo Group, commented, 'As a company, Jumbo has always been passionate about helping those in need and our donation of AED1 million to the 1 Billion Meals campaign highlights that. The UAE's previous meal donation programmes have proved to be very successful by exceeding initial targets and I hope this year's campaign can follow that trend. This donation also marks the 20th anniversary of remembrance of Jumbo Group founder Mr. Manohar Rajaram Chhabria.'
