(MENAFN- Muscat Daily) Muscat- The Information Technology Authority (ITA) on Monday launched the annual promotional donation campaign providing an alternative option for donating which is more secure, transparent, easy to use and convenient.

The authority through the Donations Portal for Charitable Organisations - www.donate.om - urges people and companies to extend their helping hands to those less fortunate in the community.

The promotional campaign starts with the beginning of Ramadan and is activated through different media channels and ITA's social media accounts.

ITA, in line with His Majesty the Sultan's vision of harnessing technology, has developed the portal to ease and simplify the process of donating and promoting charity.

The bilingual portal makes it easy for Omani citizens and residents to donate with a single click from anywhere and at their convenience without the need to travel to any of the charitable organisations. The portal can be effectively used by citizens and residents who have accounts in banks in Oman.

Up to now, the portal serves 27 charitable organisations including Dar al Atta'a, Oman Association for Disabled, Environment Society of Oman, Association of the Welfare of the Handicapped, Al Noor Association for the Blind, Association of Early Intervention for Children with Disabilities, Oman Cancer Association, Oman Hereditary Blood Disorder Association, Al Rahma Charity Team, House of Funds & Zakah, Omani Association for Elderly Friends, Oman Diabetes Association, Omani Bahjah Orphan Society, and Oman Charitable Organization. Having accessed the portal, donators can choose to donate either by cause or by charity.

According to the latest statistics a total of RO3,595,571.45 by 139,999 donors has been raised through the portal, distributed to different causes and charitable organisations.

The portal also enables its users to see live statistics on last donations and transactions carried out through the portal. Besides, it lists some of the successfully completed projects which were handled by charitable organisations along with the amount they received.

Donors now have the option to donate via the mobile app, which can be easily downloaded from the online portal, Play Store or App Store.
