Inspirational women volunteers during the Pandemic: Heather Harries

Dubai - Meet 52-year-old Heather Harries who started a kindness exchange initiative Stop and Help back in March 2020 with a focus on children’s welfare during the pandemic. A no-cash programme, it saw thousands of good samaritans sponsor groceries of families struggling to make ends meet. What started as a grocery kindness exchange selfless community initiative is now in the final stages of becoming a full-fledged charity with a focus on children’s welfare. That effort has matched more than 6,000 families across the UAE with individuals who want to help support them and their children with gifts of groceries and household supplies.
