This Organization Is Spending Dh45 Million to Help Families in Eid Al Adha

Eid Al Adha is upon us, which basically means communities around the world are joining forces to help those in need — particularly Emirates Red Crescent.

They’ve decided that they’ll distribute more than Dh45 million worth of food and clothes around the world to more than 200,000 under-privileged families this Eid. According to The National, 200,000 families in need will receive food and clothes in 68 countries. The National also reported that 18,000 goats will be butchered to feed the families.

“Their happiness makes our Eid. The point is to make a child who could not afford new clothes happy, and to provide a joyful meal to a family who was deprived of meat,” said Mohammed Al Remeithi, acting head of local affairs at the charity.

WE SAID THIS: Under-privileged families that will benefit from Emirates Red Crescent’s campaign are going to be from the UAE, Bahrain, Jordan, Morocco, Sudan, Senegal, Uganda, India, the Philippines, Maldives, Thailand, China and other countries.
