Dubai Cares along with the author Flavel Monteiro, has launched a new 'Dine. Feed. Educate' initiative to raise funds to help underprivileged children globally.
The initiative will run till 31 December and offers the ability to turn love and passion for food into providing education to children.
Seven dishes, dedicated to the seven emirates of the UAE, created by renowned chefs, will be served in seven restaurants in Dubai.
By visiting the restaurant and ordering the dish, the proceeds from the meal will go towards the initiative.
The restaurants serving the special meals include 3 Fils, Belcanto, Brasserie Boulud, Mint Leaf of London Dubai, Mythos Kouzina & Grill, Taiko Dubai and The Nine.
With access to nutritious school meals, school attendance, enrolment and nutrition levels will increase, and the economic burden on families decreases.
Flavel Monteiro said, "The food industry in the UAE is increasingly becoming a force for good by supporting social causes that have a far-reaching impact. Our 'Dine. Feed. Educate' fundraising initiative provides both restaurants as well as diners from across the country the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children for whom school meals are the only way to attend and stay in school. The initiative invites foodies to enjoy exceptional international dishes from the prestigious kitchens of acclaimed chefs, while also supporting Dubai Cares’ school feeding programmes. So, together, let’s dine, feed and educate."
