Ehsan Platform: Saudi Arabia's Digital Hub for Trusted Giving and Its Latest 2026 Updates
Hey everyone, the Ehsan platform has become quite the hot topic lately, and we're all keeping an eye on what's happening. What went down this week makes us realise that the Ehsan platform is more than just another app; it's a real game-changer for giving in Saudi Arabia.
Khairat: Award Winners for the Second Time
The first bit of news that made my day: The Khairat Association for Food Preservation won the Excellence Award within the Ehsan ecosystem for the second year running. This isn't just any award; it's the Ehsan Award for Leading Charities in its third edition. Hessa Al-Shunaifi, the head of the association, said this is the result of "integrated institutional work," and she's absolutely right, because the competition was fierce.
Abdullah Al-Subaie, the CEO, explained that the secret behind their win lies in governance and impact measurement. In short, the Ehsan platform has taught us that charitable work is now a science and a matter of management, not just collecting donations.
Cooperatives Joins the World of Giving
The second and more significant piece of news is the partnership between The Cooperative Insurance Company and the Ehsan platform. This is a brilliant move by any measure. Dr. Othman Al-Qasbi, CEO of The Cooperative, stated they'll allow customers to convert their insurance surplus to donate via the platform. I'm a customer of The Cooperative myself, and I tried the service online; honestly, it takes less than two minutes. Literally, insurance itself has become a charitable product.
Naturally, the Ehsan platform donor community is seeing a surge in participation lately, especially with the new updates on the app. If you want to know what the new features are, here are the highlights:
- "Your Giving Journey" Service: Allows you to track your donation from start to finish.
- Ramadan Greeting Cards: You can gift a card and donate on behalf of someone else.
- Ehsan Endowment Fund: Its use has become easier and faster.
Believe me, ever since we saw the Ehsan platform launch ceremony a few years back, I've said this platform would change the concept of giving. And today, after these developments, I feel like season one of this charitable journey is over, and we're at the start of a completely new season. Giving has become easier, faster, and more trustworthy.
In the end, the Ehsan platform brings together 12 government entities under one umbrella, and that makes the trust in it incredibly high. Try the app for yourselves, and see how donating has become as simple as the push of a button.
