Make a wish come true
Until December, shoppers at Geant, Yas Mall can make a Dh1 contribution to the Make a Wish UAE - a charity that seeks to grant the wishes of children with life threatening medical conditions. Coinciding with the Year of Giving, this small contribution will help wishes of terminally ill children come true. Every dirham counts.
