This campaign is now a main activity in Unilever’s Ramadan calendar in the Gulf and has become a household Ramadan charitable act that consumers await and love to take part in,” commented Waqas Javed, Marketing Director Foods, Refreshments & Home Care – Unilever Gulf.
OMO and Comfort donation booths are being installed in the five malls in the Dubai including Mirdiff City Centre, Mall of the Emirates, Deira City Centre, Lamcy Plaza and Ibn Batuta mall and will be active till 25th July 2015.
