Dubai’s popular Peruvian restaurant, COYA Dubai yesterday successfully launched its ongoing mission for the holy month by distributing 140 hand prepared meals. This Ramadan, the outlet embarks on a journey of discovery as it gives back to the community. In partnership with a group of Humanitarian Volunteers—a non-commercial group of volunteers—the outlet commences a mission to share elements of its renowned, award-winning cuisine with those who contribute to building its home city throughout June.

Starting on the 11th of June and continuing every Tuesday until the end of the month (14th,21st and 28th), COYA Dubai’s team members will be preparing, packing and hand delivering 1,173 meals– including slow digesting ingredients—across eight smaller labour camps in Al Quoz in the spirit of Ramadan.

“We are tremendously excited for the opportunity to embark on this special new journey of sharing and self-discovery this year. While the following month is a time of patience, generosity, mercy, sharing and a cleansing of the soul, we feel that engaging our community and continuing to support initiatives like this is extremely important not only during the holy month of Ramadan but year round. Being able to share the joy of one of the oldest traditions- breaking bread and share genuine dining experiences is the reason why many of us do what we do and will be something that continues to remain close to our hearts. We hope that this will be the start of many future initiatives that the team at COYA Dubai could be involved in and look forward to being able to share future initiatives like this.” says Cedric Toussaint, Director of Operations, COYA Dubai.
