“Every human being has the right to have access to real food in the most humanitarian way. We tied up again this year with Nidaa Al Khairi team, to collaborate in providing food to underprivileged families in different areas in Oman. Last year, we were able to distribute 65,600 meals to different families, and it was an extraordinary experience that we can never forget. This year we aim to reach a higher number of served meals and reach more families.” said Shatha al Maskiry, Managing Director of Protiviti.
According to an official from Protiviti, iOnHunger will start with 2 days food packaging activities followed by the main event which will take place on the 14th of May 2016, targeting rural areas outside Muscat. This year, friends and families are contributing monetarily, morally and also joining forces with Protiviti to package and distribute the food.
