"As a concerned corporate citizen, the ENOC Group believes it has a wider role - to make a positive difference to the lives of all our people and every section of the community. The holy month of Ramadan is a time of retrospection, prayer and charity. I am happy that our customers have donated generously to put a smile back on the faces of our less fortunate countrymen," Sultan added.

Mr. Faisal Aqil General Manager, Retail Banking, EIB said: "

"As a strong supporter of community activities, Emirates Islamic bank is proud to partner with the ENOC Group. This is the first time we have participated in a charity drive of this kind and like many initiatives that we have endorsed, we hope it will grow next year and beyond."
