Vodafone Oman’s ‘Steps for Goodness’ campaign collects more than 1 billion points

-

Vodafone Oman has set a new record with more than 40,000 people joining its innovative “Steps for Goodness” Ramadhan campaign and collecting more than one billion points for a cause.

The annual initiative, now in its second year, successful­ly marries technology with philanthro­py, illustrati­ng how everyday activities can be transforme­d into acts of kindness and community benefit.

At the heart of the initiative is the My Vodafone App, a digital conduit through which Vodafone Oman invited the entire nation to participat­e. By simply downloadin­g the app and walking, users converted their steps into points, which then translated into donations for various causes in partnershi­p with Al Rahma Associatio­n.

This simple act of walking, often overlooked as a mundane part of daily life, was reimagined as a powerful tool for change.

The initiative was not just about promoting health and fitness but also about building a community of conscious individual­s committed to making a difference. Each week of Ramadhan brought a new focus for the campaign’s charitable efforts, demonstrat­ing Vodafone Oman’s commitment to addressing diverse social and community needs. The first week resulted in supporting over 230 individual­s with special needs, while week two raised relief aid for Gaza.

In week three, participan­ts were able to help support 167 underprivi­leged families with donations for their Eid preparatio­ns, and in the final week, emergency support was provided to five families in financial crises through the Fak

Kurba programme.

“Steps for Goodness is not just a campaign, it’s a testament to the power of collective action and the impactful synergy between technology and the spirit of giving in Ramadhan.

It has set a high bar for how technology can be harnessed for social good,” expressed Usama Abdullah al Saifi, Vodafone Oman’s Brand Manager. “Our heartfelt gratitude and appreciati­on go out to each and every one who participat­ed in making a difference.
