Alongside this initiative, Nando’s UAE will continue to deliver 1,000 complimentary meals to delivery drivers across the UAE, recognising their essential role especially during Ramadan with a warm meal as a gesture of appreciation and care. 

“At Nando’s, we believe small gestures can create lasting change. This Ramadan, we are proud to continue supporting organisations that make a real difference, while giving our guests simple, meaningful ways to be part of that impact,” Pooja Naik, Marketing & PR Manager at Nando’s UAE. “From creative collaborations that champion inclusion to moments of gratitude for the people who keep our communities moving, each initiative reflects what Ramadan is truly about.”
