OVER 2,000 LITTLE HEARTS FROM BRITISH ORCHARD NURSERY DONATE 1000 KGS OF RICE!

Upholding the spirit of giving during the holy month of Ramadan and spreading the #Bonlove, over 2,000 little children and staff of British Orchard Nursery (BON) across the UAE came together in full force to donate more than 1,000kgs of rice for needy families, in association with Emirates Red Crescent. British Orchard Nursery participated in the ‘Feed People this Ramadan’ campaign as the institute supports the mission to fight food insecurity in line with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. As part of its CSR vision, BON has adopted three goals - quality education, good health and wellbeing, and gender equality. The drive will run for the whole month aiming to feed 5,000 families.

Dr Vandana Gandhi, Founder and CEO of British Orchard Nursery, said: “We decided to support this initiative as food insecurity is one of the major issues we are facing today and it’s also among the top UN development goals. Rice is a basic staple and there are many families for whom it’s not available. Ramadan is the month that teaches us to share and we have always channelled our CSR initiatives in line with our CSR mission and values. Our goal is to align the staff and children of BON towards eliminating community issues and I am overwhelmed with the response received by families in just two days after announcing participation in this drive. It’s quite heartwarming to see these young children come forward enthusiastically and contribute to the cause.”
