Mecca Cola to finance Palestinian charity works
Palestine, Politics, 10/5/2002

A new soft drink under the name Mecca Cola will be launched in France in November, with part of the profit to be used for financing the Palestinian charity (Purely Humanitarian), according to the owner of the project Tawfiq Mathlouthi.

Mathlouthi, a director of the Mediterranean private radio, inspired his project from the Iranian drink project Zamzam Cola, which has been a great success in Iran and several Arab states.

He said "I have registered the trade mark in August, and made contacts with several industrialists in France, Belgium and Holland." He added that this drink will be in the market in the month of Ramadan (i.e. November).

The new drink will be marketed in bottles of 1.5 liters. Al-Mathlouthi said that 10 percent of the profits will be dedicated for humanitarian Palestinian aid for children, education and preserving the heritage.
