Riyadh: noon, the digital marketplace created in the region, for the region and powered by the region’s leading retailers, is now giving customers the opportunity to donate to the Aleradah Association for Talented People with Disabilities upon checkout on desktop and the mobile application.
Aleradah is the first association of its kind to support people with all types of disabilities and ages from across Saudi Arabia offering them programmes to develop their interests and talent. The Association’s mission is to create an innovative generation of people with disabilities through the search for gifted and talented people within the Kingdom, providing them with the tools, mental support, training, and much more, so they can fulfil their goals, become self-sufficient and find employment.
Starting from 6 May, donating to Aleradah through noon is straightforward and can be completed with a click of a button. Customers shopping on noon can select the option of donating 5, 10, 25, 50, 75 or 100 SAR to Alaredah at point of payment during checkout. The amount donated will be added to their total bill.
Khalid Balghunaim, KSA General Manager, said: “As home-grown company part of our core values is to give back to our community throughout the year, and particularly during Ramadan. Aleradah is a very inspiring organisation and noon is proud to support their initiatives to create a more inclusive and nurturing environment for talent.”
Dr. Ammar Bogis, Chairman of Aleradah Association, said “We are happy to establish a partnership that will support and contribute to our association’s vision and mission. It will help to empower talented people with disabilities and make them more engaged in Saudi society and promote the principle of financial sustainability to create bright models in the Saudi labor market.” He also added, “Aleradah is proud to have a partnership with a leading company in the social responsibility field in Saudi Arabia.”
