Dubai brothers to distribute 1.2 million free meals in 2024

Gulf News

As many as 21,000 people at 20 locations in the UAE are having free iftar meals every day during this Ramadan, thanks to a charity drive run by two expat brothers.  Malawian brothers Imran and Mohammed Karim initially started the ‘Happy Happy UAE’ initiative in 2015 to serve construction workers in Dubai on a daily basis. Over the last eight years, the businessmen expanded the initiative to reach out to more and more people. They dedicate time every day to feed thousands of workers, with the support of volunteers who help them distribute the meals.
