73 million vulnerable children are currently living in extreme poverty in 60 countries and are in urgent need of school meals. Due to the lack of access to nutritious school meals, the future of millions of the world’s poorest children has been affected as meals represent 10% of the income of poor and vulnerable households.
The Dine. Feed. Educate initiative sees chefs from 7 different restaurants, in honor of the UAE’s 7 emirates, cooking up one special dish and adding it to the menu. The proceeds from the campaign will be donated to Dubai Cares to support school feeding programs and will run from the 16th of October to the 31st of December.
Whether you’re a food influencer or just a foodie, you can support the cause by visiting one of the restaurants on the list below and get tucking into the one-time-only meal. Make sure you tag us on social media so we can re-post @itplive.
1. The Nine: Herb roasted English lamb loin with crispy braised lamb croquette
2. Brasserie Boulud: Sole a la polonaise
3. Taiko Dubai: Sashimi sushi ‘moriawase’
4. Mythos Kouzina & Grill: Feta in filo
5. Mint Leaf of London Dubai: Sundried paneer tikka, cripsy spinach

The campaigns offer foodies from across the UAE a platform to turn their love of gastronomy into an opportunity to support underprivileged children. The school feeding program plays an important role in helping contribute towards improving school attendance and enrollment, decreasing economic burdens on families, and improving the nutrition levels of children in countries where malnutrition and stunting are widespread.
