Volume of daily donations via Ehsan reaches SR10 million in Ramadan
The volume of daily donations through the National Platform for Charitable Work (Ehsan) reached SR10 million during the holy month of Ramadan, its CEO Ibrahim Al-Hussaini announced.
Al-Hussaini's statement came during a television interview on Al-Arabiya channel. He said he expected the second national campaign for charitable work, which was approved by Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman, would contribute to strengthening and increasing the volume of donations through the platform.
Ehsan is characterized by high transparency that enables donors to know their money's fate, as well as the mechanism for delivering it to the beneficiary, Al-Hussaini emphasized, citing the Furijat service, which allows people to help release prisoners by viewing specific prisoner data, as an example.
Al-Hussaini said as soon as a charitable payment is completed, the purpose of the donation will be implemented, whether it was for releasing a prisoner, paying electricity bills, or others.
The platform helps the donor to view the projects that need support and choose the opportunity according to his wish.
The donor will also receive a message after the implementation of the project updating him on the result and impact of his donation.
Al-Husseini confirmed that at a ceremony organized by Ehsan in appreciation of the generosity of prominent philanthropists of Saudi Arabia, the good-doers were handed a report of their donations and where the money was spent.
