Daraz opens international payment gateways for overseas Pakistanis

Daraz Cares has launched a donation campaign in partnership with Edhi, Indus Hospital, UN Pakistan and others

Online marketplace Daraz is enabling international payments to assist overseas Pakistanis in donating to non-profit organizations as they support people most impacted by the coronavirus outbreak.

Daraz Cares, the leading ecommerce platform’s CSR wing, recently launched “Together Lets Help Pakistan” – a donation campaign – in partnership with a number of well-reputed non-profitable organizations including Edhi Foundation, Indus Hospital, United Nations Association of Pakistan, Akhuwat Foundation, Shaukat Khanum Memorial Trust, AlKhidmat, SIUT, Deaf Reach, Orange Tree and Rizq.

Daraz is not charging any commission on donations, which are being directly transferred to the respective organizations.

Daraz is aiming to help more than 5,000 families and with the help of ongoing donations the platform has reached 1,500 families already.

“Our aim is to provide customers and overseas Pakistanis a convenient platform through which they can donate and help the most vulnerable during these uncertain times. We believe that the country can only emerge stronger from this period if we all stand together. At Daraz, we are always ready to contribute and play our part in helping the nation and we are confident that we will be able to mitigate the impacts,” said Almira Butt, Head of CSR, Daraz Pakistan.
