MoHRE Launches Nationwide Ramadan Campaign to Distribute Iftar Meals and Food Supplies to Workers

Abu dhabi: The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) has launched a campaign to distribute Iftar meals and Ramadan food supplies to workers across the UAE, as part of its social and humanitarian initiatives to enhance workers' wellbeing and happiness during the holy month. According to Emirates News Agency, the campaign, held under the slogan 'Ramadan Brings Us Together with Our Workers', is being implemented in cooperation with the Emirates Red Crescent, Beit Al Khair Society, the UAE Food Bank, and Al Ansari Exchange. Dalal Al Shehhi, Acting Assistant Under-Secretary for Labour Protection at MoHRE, stated that the annual humanitarian and social initiatives during Ramadan reflect the Ministry's commitment to strengthening labour protection and promoting a stable work environment. Al Shehhi emphasized that the campaign embodies the UAE's values of compassion, generosity, and social cohesion. She added that engaging workers in national and community occasions helps strengthen their sense of b elonging and acknowledges their vital role in the country's development. The campaign's partners were praised for their contributions, seen as a strong example of social responsibility and collaboration between public and private sectors. As part of the campaign, three Ramadan tents will be set up in different locations across the UAE to host collective Iftar gatherings, organized in coordination with the Emirates Red Crescent Authority and Beit Al Khair Society. These tents aim to create a welcoming environment where workers can share meals in a spiritual atmosphere reflecting the values of the Holy Month. The initiative not only strengthens social cohesion but also enhances workers' sense of belonging to the community, showcasing the UAE's commitment to their wellbeing. The Ministry is also working with the Giving Family, Al Ansari Exchange, and Happy UAE to ensure Iftar meals reach workers at their workplaces and accommodations. The campaign will continue throughout Ramadan, with daily distribution of I ftar meals across multiple locations, alongside thousands of Ramadan food parcels. This ongoing initiative seeks to reinforce workers' sense of care and reassurance, embodying the values of solidarity and compassion that characterize the Emirati community.
