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.
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.
As the UAE celebrates the Year of Community in 2025, Taste of Giving is our nationwide call to action, bringing together the country’s food and hospitality sector to support this cause. From restaurants and cafés to food manufacturers, delivery platforms, and retail brands, we are uniting partners under one shared purpose.
By donating a portion of proceeds, promoting purpose-led products, or engaging customers in meaningful ways, our partners are helping turn food into fuel for learning. Because when a child receives a meal at school, they are not just being nourished, they are learning, growing, and moving one step closer to breaking the cycle of poverty.
This is the true power of food.
Join the Taste of Giving.
Dine. Serve. Produce. Give.
Together, we can turn every bite, every sip, every sale, into a chance for a child to learn.
GIVING BACK NEVER TASTED SO GOOD.
