Saudi Royals Contribute SAR 70 Million To Boost National Charity Campaign

In a significant move underscoring their commitment to philanthropy, the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud and HRH Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, have collectively contributed SAR70 million to the National Campaign for Charitable Work. This generous donation, with King Salman donating SAR40 million and HRH the Crown Prince contributing SAR30 million, marks another chapter in their ongoing support for charitable initiatives within Saudi Arabia.

This year represents the fourth consecutive year that the National Platform for Charitable Work (Ehsan) has spearheaded the campaign. Dr. Majid bin Abdullah Al-Qasabi, Chairman of the Ehsan Supervisory Committee, extended his heartfelt thanks to both royal figures for their unwavering support. He highlighted how these substantial donations play a crucial role in bolstering charitable efforts across the Kingdom.

For those looking to contribute, donations can be made through Ehsan's platform application and website. Alternatively, potential donors can call 8001247000 to receive information on the bank accounts set up for this purpose. The campaign warmly welcomes contributions from individuals, government bodies, private companies, and non-profit organizations alike. Such donations are pivotal in fostering a sense of solidarity and supporting charitable activities, particularly during the holy month of Ramadan.

The Ehsan platform benefits from the backing of the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA), which ensures its operations are digital, professional, and accountable. Oversight by 13 government agencies aids in institutionalizing charitable work within Saudi Arabia, guaranteeing that donations are delivered and utilized promptly. Additionally, a dedicated Sharia committee oversees Ehsan's activities to ensure they are in full compliance with Islamic Sharia.

This initiative is a testament to the Kingdom's dedication to charitable work and its digital transformation in facilitating such endeavors. Through such high-profile donations and the operational excellence of platforms like Ehsan, Saudi Arabia continues to set a benchmark for philanthropy that is both effective and compliant with Islamic principles.
