inDrive, the leading ride-hailing app in Egypt, collaborating with AL Joud NGO to support drivers during Ramadan, a time when fasting can add extra challenges to their work. This initiative could bring much-needed assistance to drivers, providing them with the resources or relief they need to manage the tough hours of fasting.
With the assistance of Al JOUD NGO, inDrive offered 7000 Suhoor meals in the first week of Ramadan for the top performing drivers during the last weeks February in different zones of Cairo to provide the drivers with a full packed meal during late night hours before Fajar Prayers.
