Deutsche Bank’s Middle East Foundation supports worthy cause

Deutsche Bank’s Middle East Foundation has announced its partnership with Save the Children by supporting its Animate-It Workshops project in the UAE and the Food Vouchers System Initiative in Yemen.
Animation is a peaceful method for children to tell their stories especially for those who lack the ability to express their feelings. Hence the Animate-It Workshops Project has been initiated in the UAE to help Emirati children express their hopes and dreams. The objective of this project is to raise the capacity and skill of local charity organizations to successfully and independently train UAE children on producing animated movies to foster their talents and connect them to youth internationally.
Philippe Vollot, chairman of Deutsche Bank’s Middle East Foundation and the bank’s regional chief operating officer, said: “We are really delighted that we have established this partnership with Save the Children through our Middle East Foundation. In Deutsche Bank we are fully committed to improve the lives of disadvantage children and pave the way to a better future for communities.”
Soha Ellaithy, director of Gulf Partnership at Save the Children, said: "We are grateful for the generous support of Deutsche Bank’s Middle East Foundation for these important projects."
