Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud approved the launch of the 5th National Campaign for Charitable Work on Friday via the National Platform for Charitable Work (Ehsan), with donations continuing throughout Ramadan until the month's end to enhance charitable giving and maximize its impact.
This campaign reflects the ongoing commitment of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister, to supporting charitable work. It aims to provide opportunities for all citizens and residents to participate in charitable acts and strengthen community solidarity during the holy month of Ramadan, a time when good deeds are multiplied.
Chairman of the Ehsan Platform's Supervisory Committee Majid Al-Kassabi expressed his gratitude to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and the Crown Prince for their unwavering support. He said that the 5th National Campaign for Charitable Work follows the remarkable success of previous editions.
The most recent campaign in 2024 saw donations exceeding SAR1.8 billion through 15 million transactions, demonstrating the Kingdom’s leadership in charitable work and sustainable development. He added that the third edition saw donations surpassing SAR760 million, while the first and second editions garnered over SAR750 million and more than SAR800 million, respectively, reflecting the principles of generosity and community unity.
Donors can digitally contribute to various charitable and development fields throughout the campaign. Additionally, donations can be made toward the Ehsan Endowment Fund. All transactions are securely processed through the Ehsan app, the Ehsan.sa website, or by calling the unified number: 8001247000.
Established by the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA) under a Royal decree, the Ehsan platform is overseen by a supervisory committee comprised of 13 government agencies. This robust governance structure supports national efforts to digitally empower the charity sector and reinforces the Kingdom's position as a leader in charitable giving. Since its launch, the platform has received over SAR 9billion in donations, benefiting more than 4.8 million individuals from various eligible groups.
