This year, Ramadan is not being celebrated like it used to be earlier – on normal times. Ramadan is a time when Muslims fast from dawn to dusk, meet families and their communities, give to charity, remember the year gone by and resolve to be better as individuals.

But due to the Covid-19 crisis, social distancing is the new norm and lockdown rules have restricted people from gathering and celebrating with their relatives and friends for the well-being of all.
This Ramadan, brands too are urging to care for others. The campaigns show efforts of frontline workers, people arranging meals for the underprivileged and urging all to follow precautions in this challenging time and look for a better world in the eyes of kids.
