The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, UNHCR, is organising a donation campaign in collaboration with Mercato and Town Centre Jumeriah, under the themes, " stand with Lebanon” and “Yemen can’t wait”.

The campaign and the booths invites shoppers to meet and interact with UNHCR staff and learn more about the plight of refugees and internally displaced people in Lebanon and Yemen, while providing them the opportunity to donate on the ground to their cause of choosing. This awareness and fundraising campaign, will allow visitors to the malls the chance to both express their solidarity with those forced to flee from their homes in search of safety, and provide financial support that will help displaced families pay for their basic necessities such as rent, food, and education, in dignity. 

Mercato and Town Centre Jumeirah are delighted to play a part in raising donations to support  refugees through this unique initiative and we take this opportunity to urge everyone to show their solidarity with the displaced families in Yemen and Lebanon" said Nisreen Boustani , PR and Corporate Communication Manager Mercato and Town Centre Jumeirah kindly note that we need to include a description and credit for each picture as per below (every number refers to its corresponding image)
