Challenge 

AlNahda is a non-profit organization dedicated to the social and economic empowerment of women through the execution of numerous social support programs.

AlNahda’s life-changing programs aim to respond to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, with a particular focus on SDG 1 (ending poverty in all its forms everywhere) among others. 

Therefore AlNahda wanted their 2019 Ramadan campaign to not only secure donations, but also raise awareness of the importance of giving by showing potential donors the difference their contributions could make to the lives of those living in poverty. The campaign needed to shine a light on the positive impact of AlNahda’s social support programs that help preserve the dignity of underprivileged women and their families.

 
 

Intervention

We joined forces with AlNahda’s PR team and conducted internal workshops to conceptualize the fundraising campaign, dividing it into two time phases; before and during Ramadan, and two spheres; online and offline. 

To create an inspiring offline campaign, we worked with a multidisciplinary team to devise a theme, name and brand identity and design an event involving expert public speakers, an outdoor experience and a unique interactive element. This culminated in the concept design of “The Experiential Room,” which provided a museum-like experience made up of four rooms that took each visitor on a journey through the story of AlNahda’s life changing work. Blue Hat worked closely with an interior design firm to ensure the vision was implemented. 

For the online campaign, which focussed on raising funds, a virtual thermometer on  AlNahda’s website tracked progress towards the fundraising target of 1 million SAR until the end of Ramadan. We collaborated closely with ambassadors who used their own channels to inspire people to donate to AlNahda’s cause.

 
 

Results

The results speak for themselves. Al-Nahda’s Ramadan campaign exceeded its 1 million SAR fundraising target by 100 percent, giving a grand donation total of 2 million SAR.

AlNahda is a nonprofit organisation dedicated to the social and economic empowerment of women in Saudi Arabia. For Ramadan, a month of philanthropy and charity, AlNahda wanted to respond to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal of ending poverty. They wanted to create a campaign that would highlight AlNahda’s impact on the lives of underprivileged women and their families and raise donations for their social support programs. The campaign, Promises to Action, was divided into two categories: an online fundraising campaign and an offline campus event to engage members of the public. The offline campaign centered around “The Experiential Room”- a sensory museum-like space that took visitors on a journey through the lives of underprivileged women and their families and showed them the difference their donations could make. It was designed to meet the three aims of the Ramadan Promises to Action campaign: raising awareness of the challenges faced by AlNahda’s beneficiaries, showcasing AlNahda’s work and triggering action to support AlNahda’s mission. “The Experiential Room” provoked a powerful emotional response among visitors, many of whom were shocked and touched when witnessing the tough living conditions of AlNahda’s beneficiaries. It raised awareness of pressing issues related to women’s empowerment in Saudi Arabia and of AlNahda’s work, sparking new conversations around Saudi women. The Experiential Room was executed in collaboration with Blue Hat, Draft Creations, & Razin. The Ramadan campaign was a great success, and exceeded AlNahda’s fundraising target of 1 million SAR, raising a total of 2 million SAR, while remaining under budget.
