Dubai, UAE: In collaboration with trusted local, regional and global charity partners, talabat UAE announces the launch of charitable and humanitarian projects that customers can contribute to through the talabat app this Ramadan.

Over the past few years, talabat UAE facilitated the donation of over AED 3 million in the month of Ramadan only, which reflects the spirit of giving that is deeply rooted in the culture of the UAE community.

This year, as part of its ongoing commitment to create positive social impact, talabat UAE is enabling customers to donate directly through the app to trusted charities such as Ramadan Heroes, Beit Al Khair, Mohammed Bin Rashid Global Initiatives (MBRGI), and Dubai Cares.

Simonida Subotic, Vice President and Managing Director at talabat UAE commented: “As a tech company, we are proud to be in a position where we utilise our platform to support humanitarian relief efforts by connecting our customers to trusted charity partners. We are humbled by the generosity of our customers and remain committed to giving back to our communities.”

The fund will represent an ongoing charity on behalf of all mothers in the UAE.
