Dubai, UAE, July 4, 2016:   MAGGI®’s 1000 women for good initiative, first launched in 2012, has once again this holy month of Ramadan collaborated with over 1,000 women from across the region, to help provide over 14,000 underprivileged families with food baskets to help prepare nutritious and tasty meals for Suhoor and Iftar.

Over 14,000 “Baskets of Goodness” containing essential food items such as soup, rice, pasta, tomato paste, lentils, vegetable oil and flour, were delivered to homes across the GCC & Levant including Palestine, to ensure families had enough to prepare for meals and enable loved ones to spend time together while encouraging healthy eating habits.  1,000 “Baskets of Goodness” were distributed in the UAE alone.

To make the initiative possible, MAGGI worked closely with a number of NGOs across the region including Food Bank in the UAE, and female figureheads, to recruit 1,000 volunteers dedicated to making a difference in the lives of thousands of families.
