The UAE's 'Edge of Life' campaign has announced seven channels through which individuals and institutions can make their contributions.
The campaign was launched recently by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
Coinciding with the holy month of Ramadan, the campaign aims to raise at least AED1 million to rescue five million children worldwide from the threat of hunger. Statistics show that five children under the age of 5 die of malnutrition and hunger around the world every minute.
