Sharjah residents will find it easier than ever to give this Ramadan, as Sharjah Charity International rolls out a major digital and community-wide donation drive ahead of the holy month.
The charity has confirmed full readiness to receive Zakat and Ramadan donations, introducing new tech-enabled solutions alongside traditional giving channels to make contributions faster, safer and more accessible across the emirate.
Smart donation screens in malls
As part of the Ramadan 2026 campaign “Jood”, 18 smart donation screens have been installed in major shopping malls across Sharjah.
The digital platforms allow donors to contribute using:
- Apple Pay
- Samsung Pay
- QR code scanning
- Credit cards
The move replaces traditional collection methods with secure, cashless options designed for convenience during busy Ramadan evenings.
Thousands of donation boxes across emirate
Sharjah Charity International has also expanded its physical donation network, including:
- 6,729 small donation boxes in grocery stores across the emirate
- 100 donation boxes placed in mosques and public locations during Friday prayers, Taraweeh and Qiyam Al Lail
- 578 donation cabinets installed in mosques in coordination with the Sharjah Department of Islamic Affairs
- 730 large donation boxes in hotels under the “Enmaa Al Khair” initiative
In addition, 83 electronic donation devices have been placed in hotels in partnership with the Sharjah Commerce and Tourism Development Authority.
Handheld devices and volunteers deployed
To support peak giving times, the association has introduced:
- 256 handheld donation devices linked directly to headquarters for secure transactions
- 54 customer service staff stationed at malls and government centres
- 100 vetted volunteers overseeing donation efforts during high-traffic prayer times
Officials say all systems are designed to ensure transparency, speed and secure processing.
Multiple ways to donate in Sharjah
Residents can also donate via:
- The charity’s official website
- SMS services
- Smart donation links
- Credit cards and bank transfers
- Mobile app
