The سعيد أحمد لوتاه الخيرية has made a significant contribution of 5 million dirhams to the “حد الحياة” campaign, which aims to save 5 million children from dying of hunger. This initiative, launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, during the holy month of Ramadan, seeks to raise at least one billion dirhams to combat child hunger globally. The generous donation from the charity underscores its commitment to addressing this critical issue.
Supporting the “حد الحياة” Campaign
The contribution from the سعيد أحمد لوتاه الخيرية aligns with a widespread community response to the “حد الحياة” campaign. This campaign, which aims to save 5 million children from dying of hunger, is under the umbrella of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives and is executed in partnership with UNICEF, Save the Children, and Action Against Hunger. With millions of children facing severe malnutrition in vulnerable communities, the campaign targets the most affected areas, particularly in regions beset by disasters and conflicts.
Urgent Action Needed
According to statistics, five children under the age of five die from malnutrition and hunger every minute worldwide. Engineer Yahya Said Loutah, Vice Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the سعيد أحمد لوتاه الخيرية, emphasized that the “حد الحياة” campaign represents a global vision aimed at finding effective and immediate solutions to the challenges of child hunger in underserved communities. “This initiative reflects our commitment to enhance leadership by aligning with the UAE’s qualitative initiatives,” he added, reinforcing the charity’s strategic focus.
