DUBAI, 25th February, 2026 (WAM) — SAMANA Developers announced a contribution of AED15 million in support of the Edge of Life campaign to rescue five million children from hunger, launched in Ramadan by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, with the aim of raising a minimum of AED1 billion to be invested in implementing sustainable programmes that help fight childhood hunger around the world.

The Edge of Life campaign to rescue five million children from hunger, which operates under the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI), is organised in partnership with UNICEF, Save the Children, the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF) and Action Against Hunger.
