The '1 Billion Meals' initiative has distributed 5.4 million meals to Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh.
Donated in collaboration with the United Nations World Food Programme, the initiative launched during the Holy Month of Ramadan in 2022, aims to provide food resources to 50 countries around the world.
According to a United Nations Children's Fund report, around 1 million Rohingya refugees, of which 490,000 are children, reside in the camps by Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, and is the largest area accommodating refugees.
Sarah Al Nuaimi, Director of MBRGI said, "For the 1 Billion Meals initiative to reach beneficiaries in one of the largest refugee camps in the world is a logistical challenge by all means. However, MBRGI, in partnership with UN’s WFP, succeeded in overcoming this challenge and distributing the equivalent of 5.4 million meals to individuals and families in the Cox’s Bazar camps in Bangladesh."
