Why it matters and how to help
For residents in Saudi Arabia who want to take part in KSrelief programs, including international orphan support, the primary official channel is the Sahem electronic donation platform. Sahem supports electronic payments such as cards and online payment methods, and allows recurring monthly donations for those who wish to give on an ongoing basis.
