This Ramadan, Nando’s UAE is running a series of community initiatives that give guests a direct way to contribute to causes across the UAE. The programme combines charitable partnerships with practical support, reflecting the spirit of giving that defines the Holy Month.
Following its 2024 collaboration, Nando’s UAE is working with Dubai Autism Center again this year through a creative project featuring the artwork of Abdulla Lutfi. Limited edition water bottles carrying his artwork will go on sale across all Nando’s UAE Casas during Ramadan, building on the 2024 collection. Each bottle is priced at AED 35, with 100% of proceeds going directly to Dubai Autism Center to fund its education, therapy, and community programmes for children on the autism spectrum.
Dubai Autism Center is a non-profit organisation founded in 2001. It works to raise awareness and deliver specialist education programmes, therapies, and community activities that support children on the spectrum and their families. By continuing this partnership for a third year, Nando’s UAE is putting its support behind inclusion in a practical and considered way.
As part of the same programme, Nando’s UAE will provide 1,000 complimentary meals to delivery drivers across the UAE during Ramadan. The gesture recognises the role these workers play in keeping communities running, particularly during the Holy Month.
“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,” said 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.”
Joyce Chamoun, Business Development Manager at the Dubai Autism Center (DAC), added: “We are sincerely grateful to Nando’s UAE for their continued support and commitment to our community. Partnerships like this play an essential role in helping us provide specialised educational and therapeutic services to children with autism and their families. Their dedication to social responsibility, especially during a meaningful time such as Ramadan, reflects the spirit of compassion and unity that strengthens our society.”
