By June 6, 2016 June 1st, 2017 No Comments

With Ramadan beginning and many looking to step up their charitable contributions, Qatar Charity (QC) has launched a new way to “promote good.”

Under its Dal Ala Alkheer initiative, social media users can now donate to their favorite charities without spending any money.

Instead of cash, they are being asked to promote different charity initiatives on their Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts, QC said on its website. It added:

“This new and innovative service allows social media users to donate money in their names to support charity projects around the world without paying one Riyal.

When residents post a link to any QC charity on their social media accounts, and one of their friends or followers donates through the posted link, he/she is awarded points.

Speaking to Doha News, a QC official explained that people who accumulate points are divided into categories such as Gold, Platinum and Bronze.

This encourages them to compete for charity and collect more points, Executive Director of Financial Resources Mohammad Al Yazidi added.
