Majid Al Futtaim has completed the second phase of its charity initiative to support underprivileged families across Nairobi affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The initiative has helped to generate donations of more than 65 tones of staple food items, worth over Sh5 million, since its launch in May 2020. Carrefour which is operated by Majid Al Futtaim in Kenya joined forces with the Kenya Red Cross to deliver donations providing over 10,000 food hampers to families in need. The initiative was further supported by the Kenya COVID-19 Emergency Response Fund, which took the lead on distributing the donated food packages to families. The charity campaign also saw families from Githembe in Nairobi receive over 33 tonnes of staple food, worth over Sh2.5 million, in the first phase of the campaign.
