Careem, the everything app, has launched Groceries for Gaza with the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP). Customers can donate in a few easy taps, straight from Careem Quik.
Each month, WFP reaches around 1.5 million people in Gaza with food parcels, wheat flour, bread, hot meals, school snacks, nutrition services and cash. This support remains a lifeline.
In collaboration with WFP, Careem has created 4 donation options, starting at AED 92. Each one covers the cost of a WFP food box that feeds a family of 5. Each box holds the staples behind every home-cooked meal: fortified wheat flour, pasta, lentils, beans, chickpeas, tomato paste, vegetable oil, salt and halva.
Donation
Customers can donate a box on its own or add one to their weekly shop. Careem passes every donation to WFP, which provides the food and delivers it to families in greatest need in Gaza.
“Through Seeds for Gaza, our customers and partners raised more than AED 3 million. With Groceries for Gaza, we’re making it simple for them to help again, every time they shop,” said Mudassir Sheikha, Co-founder and CEO, Careem.
“Partners like Careem help us keep food reaching the families who need it most, and give people in the UAE a simple way to help. Every donation makes a real difference,” remarked Bashar Al Hammami, Head-WFP Global Office, UAE.
