The Covid-19 pandemic has made people more aware of the need to help those less fortunate than themselves, a UAE charity chief said.
Anne Edmondson, chairwoman of Gulf for Good, which helps poor children around the world, said she has noticed increased interest in her organisation in recent months.
“We are finding there is a bigger appetite from people to get involved, despite the continuing impact of Covid-19,” she said.
“Maybe it’s because the pandemic has given people time to reflect on what really matters in life and they want to make their actions count.”
