Doha, Qatar: In a major stride towards combating global hunger and food insecurity, Malabar Group has officially launched its groundbreaking Hunger-Free World initiative in Zambia.

The initiative was unveiled by the Honourable Douglas Syakalima, Zambia’s Minister of Education at an event held at John Laing Primary School in Lusaka. 

Abdul Salam K.P, Vice-Chairman of Malabar Group; H E Gerry Muuka, Zambia Consul General for Dubai; H E Duncan Mulima, Ambassador of Zambia to Kingdom of Saudi Arabia; Arif Saeed, Deputy High Commissioner, Indian High Commission in Zambia; government and school officials; students; and well-wishers were in attendance.

This extension is part of Malabar Group’s commitment—announced last year during an event at the Malabar International Hub in Dubai—to contribute $1m in the next three years towards providing nutritious mid-day meals to school students in Zambia. With the launch of the programme, Malabar Group will now provide 10,000 meals daily across John Laing Primary School, Chingwele Primary School, and Mambilima Primary School in Zambia.

“Malabar Group has always been at the forefront of social welfare initiatives aimed at uplifting society. Through our Hunger-Free World initiative, we provide meals to thousands of underprivileged individuals in India—a feat we take immense pride in. Over the past year, our ESG wing has been working relentlessly on ground in Zambia to bring this project to fruition and I am confident that our efforts will yield a positive outcome to the students and the future of Zambia,” commented M.P Ahammed, Chairman of Malabar Group.
