Ooredoo officials after signing the agreement.
Ooredoo and Qatar Red Crescent have announced a three-year partnership agreement to enable donations to the charity via Ooredoo’s nationwide Self-Service Machine network.
The signing ceremony, which took place at Ooredoo’s HQ1, was signed by Ooredoo’s Chief Operating Officer, Yousuf Abdulla Al Kubaisi, and Qatar Red Crescent CEO, His Excellency Youssef Ahmed Al-Hammadi.
With over 200 Self-Service Machines spread across the country, donations to Qatar Red Crescent will soon be easily made by cash or credit/debit card 24/7.
The Qatar Red Crescents fundamental goal is to improve the lives of vulnerable people by encouraging humanity and goodwill in Qatar and abroad.
The three year agreement will enable Ooredoo to add a Qatar Red Crescent donation option to its Self-Service Machine network and enable donors to give to Qatar Red Crescent projects using their bank cards directly or via cash.
Yousuf Abdulla Al Kubaisi, Chief Operating Officer, Ooredoo Qatar, said: “We’re proud to support the Qatar Red Crescent with the amazing work they do across Qatar and the region and urge customers to donate via our Self-Service Machines. We hope that the next time users pay their bill, top-up their service or head into an Ooredoo Shop, they’ll donate just a few Riyals to Qatar Red Crescent to help those in need. This is the latest in a long line of Ooredoo and Qatar Red Crescent collaboration’s, and last year we helped support Women Entrepreneurs in Qatar.”
Youssef Ahmed Al-Hammadi, CEO, Qatar Red Crescent, said: “We thank Ooredoo for its cooperation by adding this special feature to Ooredoo Self-Service Machines to make donations made to QRC easier and more convenient, as this will support the mission of QRC to serve communities inside and outside of Qatar.’
He indicated that Qatar Red Crescent is keen to diversify donations means and methods, so that everyone can find an easy way to donate around the world.
“This new feature represents an upgrade to available donations means, which includes donating in cash to QRC branches in different parts of Qatar, through representatives in Malls, via bank transfers, through the QRC website or calling 16002 to make a donation.” His Excellency Youssef Ahmed Al-Hammadi added.
This initiative is part of a series of digital self-service enhancements for Ooredoo users. Ooredoo’s network of Self-Service Machines were designed to offer an easy self-service experience for customers to keep up-to-date with their daily services and needs.
