The Dubai Awqaf and Minors Affairs Foundation, represented by the Mohammed bin Rashid Global Centre for Endowment and Gift Consultancy, has granted the 'Dubai Waqf Mark' to three brands belonging to Index Trading and Investment Company.
The honoured brands are Yatsudoki, YOKU MOKU, and DXBlends, in recognition of their contribution to the 'Endow a Table in a Restaurant' initiative under the 'Youth of Goodness' campaign, in support of endowment projects and the promotion of sustainable community impact.
The 'Endow a Table in a Restaurant' initiative is based on dedicating the revenue of one or more tables in a restaurant, or allocating a percentage of the restaurant's proceeds, to establish a sustainable charitable endowment serving charitable and humanitarian causes in the community. The honoured restaurants joined the initiative by allocating a portion of their revenues to support charitable programmes across various sectors, contributing to the sustainability and broader community reach of philanthropic work.
The granting of the 'Dubai Waqf Mark' was in recognition of the role these restaurants play in supporting charitable and community initiatives.
Zainab Juma Al Tamimi, Director of the Mohammed bin Rashid Global Centre for Endowment and Gift Consultancy, said that the 'Endow a Table' initiative represents an innovative model that enables restaurants and hospitality sector entities to participate in endowment work in a practical and sustainable manner.
