An empty plate is a lost opportunity. Fill it with hope.
Millions of children around the world go to school hungry. In low- and middle-income countries alone, more than 73 million primary school students start their day without a proper meal. It’s hard to focus, learn, or even attend class on an empty stomach. Hunger holds children back from reaching their potential and often forces them out of school altogether.
At Dubai Cares, we believe no child should be held back from education because of hunger. That’s why we launched Taste of Giving – to turn every meal and F&B product into a step toward learning and hope.
If you are a restaurant, manufacturer or retailer from the F&B sector and would like to sign up for the campaign, fill out one of the forms below or drop us an email at [email protected] to learn more.
How school meals help?
Through our school feeding programs, we provide nutritious meals that help children stay in school, concentrate in class, and feel supported. To date, Dubai Cares has delivered 5 million school meals, improving both learning outcomes and children’s well-being.
What is Taste of Giving?
As the UAE celebrates the Year of Community in 2025, Taste of Giving is a unique initiative by Dubai Cares that invites you to make a difference simply by enjoying what you love – good food. The deliciously meaningful campaign brings together the UAE’s vibrant restaurant and F&B sector for an impactful cause. Each time you dine at one of our participating restaurants or purchase a Taste of Giving product, a portion of your bill is donated directly to support our school feeding programs.
