In collaboration with trusted local, regional and global charities, q-commerce platform Talabat UAE has announced various charitable Ramadan initiatives that customers can participate in through the Talabat app.
Last Ramadan, the company facilitated the donation of over AED 1.4 million customer in-app donations, equivalent to more than one million meals, during the month of Ramadan alone.
Managing director at Talabat UAE, Tatiana Rahal, said: “We are humbled by the generosity and spirit of giving we have seen from our customers over the years, a testament to the deeply rooted culture of benevolence and philanthropy that the UAE leaders have instilled in the community.”
This year, to create a positive social impact and the UAE’s year of sustainability in the lead-up to COP28, the company intensified its efforts to tackle food security. This reflects the UAE’s international aspiration to provide food aid, as well as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals for 2030 to eradicate hunger.
“We are grateful to be in a position where we can utilise our technology for good and help make a meaningful difference in the lives of others,” said Ms Rahal.
“We are particularly focusing on innovative ways to give back to the community and supporting sustainable initiatives that tackle food security with our partners, such as the ‘Spread the Loaf’ initiative under the ‘Bread for All’ campaign that aims to provide fresh bread around the clock to those in need in the UAE. It is thanks to the tremendous efforts and on-ground support of our trusted charity partners that we are able to make a positive impact on a local, regional, and global level.”
Customers can contribute through the app in two ways: by directly donating to one of the trusted virtual charities or by redeeming their ‘talabat Rewards’ points.
On the app, Talabat customers can donate to global and local charities of their choice by clicking the ‘Give back’ option under ‘Shortcuts’ on the homepage and selecting the cause they wish to donate to.
