RIYADH: The King Abdullah Humanitarian Foundation has announced a donation of SR20 million ($5.3 million) through the national charity platform Ehsan.

KAHF’s donation will go toward supporting development projects, sustainable community initiatives and humanitarian projects in Saudi Arabia, the Saudi Press Agency reported.

Its donation was part of the sixth National Campaign for Charitable Work, which runs annually through the month of Ramadan.

Dr. Abdulaziz bin Fahad Al-Anqari, CEO of the foundation, said: “The foundation’s participation through the Ehsan platform comes as a confirmation of the importance of integrating national efforts in enhancing the impact of humanitarian work.”

He added that the participation was “based on the foundation’s commitment to supporting sustainable development solutions, toward achieving societal stability, enhancing empowerment opportunities for the most needy groups and enhancing their quality of life.”

The foundation is inspired in its initiatives by the approach of King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, Al-Anqari said, in consolidating humanitarian work and serving society.

The foundation continues to implement its humanitarian programs and initiatives inside the Kingdom and abroad.

It has contributed through its various projects to serving more than 42 million beneficiaries in 17 countries through humanitarian, developmental and community work.

The Ehsan platform successfully raised more than SR4.5 billion for charity in 2025 alone.

More than 330 million donations made on the platform over the past five years added up to a total of SR14 billion, officials revealed in the run-up to Ramadan.

In addition, the Jood Eskan platform that helps low-income families to secure housing has raised SR5 billion from 4.5 million donors since its launch in 2019.

The platform uses advanced data analytics and artificial intelligence to verify beneficiary eligibility and prevent duplication of support, and donations can be completed in less than five seconds.
