An online platform dedicated to raising awareness about charitable causes in the Middle East has teamed up with Noor Dubai for their Mobile Eye Camps.
juuduu.com will sell custom-made T-shirts and other merchandise to raise funds for the camps, which offer eye treatments in remote areas.
A team of doctors and experts arrive with supplies, surgical tools and microscopes for the camps, which typically last 10 days.
Each item sold on juuduu.com, a company based in Dubai, will include a Dh30 contribution to the campaign, enough for treatment for one person.

Real estate tokenisation project
Dubai launched the pilot phase of its real estate tokenisation project last month.
The initiative focuses on converting real estate assets into digital tokens recorded on blockchain technology and helps in streamlining the process of buying, selling and investing, the Dubai Land Department said.
Dubai’s real estate tokenisation market is projected to reach Dh60 billion ($16.33 billion) by 2033, representing 7 per cent of the emirate’s total property transactions, according to the DLD.
