First-Ever "CharityGPT" Launched on Botim App for Effortless Donations During Ramadan
UAE-based Astra Tech has partnered with the Authority of Social Contribution – Ma’an to introduce "CharityGPT" on its Botim messaging platform. This marks a historic first: the region's first-ever application of an AI action model to streamline charitable donations.
The launch is strategically timed to coincide with the holy month of Ramadan, a period traditionally associated with heightened generosity and reflection. CharityGPT adds to Astra Tech's existing dedication to social causes, which includes collaborations with Emirates Red Crescent on various donation drives.
"We are thrilled to collaborate with Ma'an to enable donations through our groundbreaking CharityGPT feature," said Abdallah Abu-Sheikh, Founder of Astra Tech and CEO of Botim. "This initiative perfectly exemplifies the power of technology to serve as a force for good. CharityGPT will extend our philanthropic reach and create a lasting positive impact on society."
A Commitment to Social Progress
CharityGPT builds upon Astra Tech's proven track record of successful charitable campaigns on the Botim Ultra platform, which leverages the fintech features of PayBy. This collaboration underscores their unwavering commitment to social well-being and harnessing technology for the greater good.
Businesses across the region can take advantage of CharityGPT by leveraging it as a platform to encourage their employees and customers to participate in charitable giving. They can promote the initiative internally through employee communications channels and externally through their customer-facing platforms, such as social media, email newsletters, and website announcements. Additionally, Astra Tech is open to businesses collaborating for joint initiatives that align with their corporate social responsibility goals.
Partnership for Positive Change
His Excellency Faisal AlHmoudi, Social Investment Fund Executive Director at Ma'an, highlighted the importance of the partnership. "This initiative aligns perfectly with our ongoing mission to address social needs and make a genuine social impact," he remarked. "CharityGPT fosters a spirit of giving and empowers the UAE community to support those in need, ultimately strengthening the bonds that tie us together."
Astra Tech are open to partnerships with other Non-governmental organizations (NGOs). They can participate in CharityGPT by partnering with Astra Tech and Ma’an to set up dedicated fundraising campaigns or donation drives within the Botim platform. NGOs can utilize CharityGPT as a convenient and efficient channel to engage with potential donors, raise awareness about their causes, and facilitate donations. They may work closely with Astra Tech and Ma’an to customize their fundraising pages, set donation targets, and track progress toward their goals.
The launch of CharityGPT signifies a significant milestone in the convergence of technology and philanthropy. It showcases the UAE's tech sector's dedication to social responsibility and the immense potential of AI in facilitating acts of kindness.
Regional expansion
Initially launched in the UAE, the potential scope of CharityGPT could extend beyond national borders to other regions and countries where Botim operates. While the focus may initially be on expanding within the MENA region due to Astra Tech's presence and expertise in that market, they are open for expansion in the long term. However, such expansion would likely depend on factors such as regulatory considerations, market demand, and strategic partnerships with local authorities or organizations in target regions.
By simplifying the donation process, Astra Tech and Ma'an are not only opening doors for effortless giving but also nurturing a culture of generosity and building a more connected society.
