A “Donation” button has been added to the main menu of the bKash app to enable customers to donate more easily to the welfare organizations which are working for the distressed people during the Covid-19 crisis.
As a result of this new addition, customers can now easily join the humanitarian work of 11 organizations and donate any amount of money in just a few clicks.
To donate, customers need to select “Donation” from the “More” icon in the bKash app. Then the preferred organization needs to be selected.
The amount of donation has to be entered in the next step with donor’s name and email id. If the customers wish, they can also keep their identity hidden by selecting “unwilling to reveal identity” option.
After pressing “submit” and entering PIN number, the donation process will be completed. In the last screen, customers can see the acknowledgement.
Customers will get the opportunity to know detailed information about the organization on the next screen after selecting it.
Donors can also contact the emails shown in that screen if they are interested to know more about the expenditure of the donation.
At present, bKash users can donate to 11 organizations which are: Alter Youth, Anjuman Mofidul Islam, Bangladesh Thalassemia Foundation, Brac, Center for Zakat Management, Dhaka Ahsania Mission, Ek Takay Ahar, Liberation War Museum, National Liver Foundation of Bangladesh, Obhizatrik Foundation, and Sajida Foundation.
This step has been taken by bKash so that the common people can easily participate in humanitarian initiatives and help others cope with the critical situation.
