The app will also display an array of discounts on services and savings for suhoor and iftar meals.<\/p>\n<p>Careem App users will also still be able to receive and send <strong>eidiyah<\/strong> via Careem Pay &#8211; safe and socially distant.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Doing good<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Careem is also making it easier for Customers to be generous during the Holy Month with various ways to support the less fortunate in the community. \u201cEat a plate to 2 fill a plate\u201d is a program in the UAE allowing Careem Customers to directly <strong>donate a meal<\/strong> to someone in need. With every meal the Customer purchases, Careem\u2019s partner restaurant will donate a meal to a child through the \u201cShare the meal foundation\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Careem is also considering those who won\u2019t be able to celebrate with their loved ones in person this year. The <strong>buy and send service<\/strong> allows Customers to <strong>share their home cooked goods<\/strong> by sending a Careem Captain to family members who are not in the same place. The ingredients for a home cooked meal can be easily ordered with <strong>Careem\u2019s grocery<\/strong> service on the Super App.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the campaign launch, Mudassir Sheikha, CEO and Co-Founder of Careem said <em>\u201cNot only is Ramadan a month embraced by communities all over the world, but it\u2019s also an exceptional one for Careem as it was the month in which we were founded, making it extra special for the Careem family.
