Leading Dubai-based realty giant launches charity website

Nakheel, one of the world’s largest real estate developers based in Dubai, has developed a unique charity initiative during 2007 Ramadan with the launch of its Ramadan Kareem Make-a-Wish website, www.ramadan.nakheel.com, which aims to raise funds for disadvantaged people in the UAE. For every wish placed at the website, Dh10 will be donated to charity. As Nakheel is the sole donator for the initiative, there is no limit to the number of wishes placed on the website and personal donations will not be accepted.
Manal Shaheen, Director, Sales, Marketing and Customer Services, said, “The ‘Ramadan Kareem Make-a-Wish’ website engages people to carry out an act of goodwill this Ramadan, providing every person with the opportunity to donate without having to pay a dirham. The objective of this scheme is to help make a difference to people lives and that is why we have not set a donation limit”.

The website has already generated a huge amount of interest as the number of visitors to the site is growing each minute and wishes are being made by people from around the globe. The money raised from the initiative will be donated to Beit Al Khair, a charity formed to benefit a range of disadvantaged people in the UAE. Dubai real estate company, Nakheel recognizes the importance of Ramadan in the Islamic calendar and as a time to act in a charitable and generous manner. Source
