Vodafone is holding the third edition of its fund raising campaign #GivingChallenge that will see three Qatari social media influencers using their social media followership to raise funds for their chosen charity during the holy month of Ramadan.
Aqeel Al Janahi, Ahmad Abdallah and Ahmad Khalil will use their social media channels to encourage their followers to vote for their chosen charities via Vodafone’s Giving Challenge website: Vodafone.qa/givingchallenge. For each vote, Vodafone will donate QR10 to each charity by the end of the campaign on 14 June 2017.
“I’m confident the charity ambassadors participating this year will raise significant funds for their chosen charities while also raising awareness about the honourable work that these charities do,” said Dana Haidan, Vodafone Qatar’s Head of CSR.
Last year’s edition of Vodafone’s hugely successful #GivingChallenge raised a total of QR1,008,500 for charities in Qatar and reached over 5 million people via social media.
Aqeel Al Janahi is a media personality and an ambassador for a number of charities. He is one of the first and leading media personalities in Qatar for over 30 years and is a social activist who’s passionate about doing charitable work having received several awards for his contribution to humanitarian initiatives.
Ahmed Abdullaa is a Qatari actor and writer who started his career in theatre using it as a platform to address key social issues and was one of the founders of Qatari theatre arts.
Ahmed Khalil Al Khaldi is the former goal keeper of the Qatar National Team and one of Qatar’s football legends who has played a key role in the success of several Qatari football teams. After retiring from football, he moved to TV as a sports anchor in BeIN Sports. Away from sports and TV, he is a great role model for youth as he actively supports charitable projects.
