Careem has announced that it will be matching the donations to raise more funds. The donations will go towards developing and supporting Sinai. The fundraising will go on from the December 1 to December 31.

This follows Careem’s “BloodDonation” activation when they offered free rides to and from hospitals in Port Said and Ismailia to those who were involved in the terrorist attacks that occurred in those cities.
