Ramadan 2022 in Dubai: Free nol cards, thousands of Iftar meals; RTA announces charity drives

Distributing over 1,000 Iftar meals daily; pre-paid nol cards to buy rations; and facilitating fresh breads among needy families are among the several community initiatives organised by Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) during the holy month of Ramadan.

The initiatives target a wide range of community segments such as bus drivers, workers, delivery bike and truck drivers, orphans and low-income families.

Meals-on-wheels

According to Rowdah Al Mehrizi, director of Marketing and Corporate Communication, the meals-on-wheels initiative will provide 30,000 meals during the holy month — about 1,000 per day.

Nol cards

‘Ramadan Rations’, held in conjunction with Zayed Humanitarian Day, will see prepaid nol cards distributed to low-income families. These can be used for shopping at major retail stores to meet the needs of recipients during the holy month.
