The challenge, which was launched on the first day of Ramadan, saw three Qatari social media influencers use their social media channels to raise funds for their chosen charity.
Aqeel Al-Janahi, Ahmed Abdallah and Ahmed Khalil used their social media channels to encourage their followers to vote for their chosen charities via Vodafone’s website and for each vote, Vodafone donated QR10 to each charity.
The funds raised for each charity came to: Qatar Charity chosen by Ahmed Abdullaa- QR 153,590; Afif chosen by Aqeel Al-Janahi- QR 140,200; and RAF chosen by Ahmed Khalil - QR 71,020.
Dana Haidan, Head of Corporate Responsibility at Vodafone said, “We are so proud of the efforts that Aqeel Al-Janahi, Ahmed Abdallaa and Ahmed Khalil dedicated to raising funds for their chosen charities. The raised funds will now support the honourable work that the charities do to help thousands of underprivileged people including the provision of cataract surgery in the Niger and orphans in the Middle East.”
