Palazzo Versace Dubai chairman Raza Jafar said: “I am proud of Palazzo Versace Dubai’s efforts to promote access to education among those in greatest need. When I consider the exponential impact that this partnership will have on underprivileged communities, I am increasingly optimistic about the future. Education is the greatest gift that one can bestow and it is an honour to partner with Dubai Cares, an organisation that shares our vision of making a tangible difference in the world.”
Commenting on the initiative, Tariq Al Gurg, chief executive officer at Dubai Cares, said: “Giving every child and young person access to a quality education helps improve their lives, reduce poverty as well as sustain economic growth. Our partnership will enable hotel guests to make a donation to Dubai Cares while settling their bill at checkout. We are proud to be implementing this fundraising model in the Palazzo Versace Dubai.”
