As Pakistan faces catastrophic flooding, due to unprecedented rainfall in many areas of the country, Careem has joined hands with Shahid Afridi Foundation (SAF) to launch a donation car ride called GO Flood Relief for its customers. The initiative will enable customers to donate an amount of PKR 50/- for every ride taken.

Careem will also match all customer tips given to Captains during September and donate them to SAF to contribute to the flood relief cause. Furthermore, Careem has also enabled customers to donate redeemable points to SAF via the reward tile in the Super App. Careem aims to use technology as an enabler for virtual transactions, including donations. The aim is to eliminate logistical limitations and make the process seamless.
