RIYADH: Digital platforms are transforming the way people in Saudi Arabia donate to charity during Ramadan.

Several charities report a significant shift toward app-based donations as more donors turn to their phones to support humanitarian causes.

Abdulaziz Al-Nuami, CEO of the Al-Wedad Charity Association, said the spread of donation apps and digital platforms has significantly influenced charitable work during the holy month, when giving traditionally peaks.

“Digital applications and platforms have significantly contributed to increasing donations during the holy month of Ramadan,” Al-Nuami told Arab News.

“This comes at a time when people are generally more motivated to give to charity and support various charitable causes during this blessed month.”
