A record number of donations were received by a Ramadan charity drive to support underprivileged families across the region.
The annual Make a Difference initiative, in its 10th year, received more than 63,000 books, 46,500 toys, 52,000 kilograms of clothes and Dh311,000 from collection points in Bahrain, Egypt, Lebanon, Oman and the UAE.
The organiser, Majid Al Futtaim, teamed up with charitable organisations and the group’s chief executive, Alain Bejjani, thanked the public for their donations during the holy month.
