Reflecting on the array of Ramadan programs launched by the global broker Octa over the past year.
Central to the holy month of Ramadan is the act of charity, and Octa has actively engaged in various initiatives.
For Muslim believers, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar holds profound religious significance. With the guidance of Octa’s dedicated regional partners, impactful social projects have been implemented in Muslim communities, some of which have been ongoing for multiple years.
Indonesia, Malaysia, and Nigeria stand out for their robust Ramadan charity activities.
In Indonesia, two 4-day training workshops for teachers from ten schools were hosted, spearheaded by the charity organization Yayasan Tunas Aksara.
Octa’s brand ambassador, Andre Rizky, added value to this initiative through a workshop on financial literacy.
Malaysia saw Octa support projects that equipped numerous learning centers with a school management system, a gamified learning platform, and Google for Education.
The project, organized by Ideas Academy, aimed to digitize 1,012 learning centers for refugees and underprivileged students in Malaysia, enhancing their educational journey. Additionally, a unique workshop format was introduced to provide online financial literacy courses in line with Ideas Academy’s “self-study” approach.
In Nigeria, Octa distributed free and nutritious meals to 1,444 Muslims throughout the five-week Ramadan period, amounting to 288 servings per week for those in need. This distribution was symbolic, honoring the 1,444th anniversary of Prophet Muhammad’s migration to Medina. Collaborating with local mosque leaders was pivotal in executing these charitable efforts.
For Octa, Ramadan has become a steadfast tradition of philanthropic endeavors. In 2024, the fintech company aims to expand its social impact by deepening existing partnerships and forging new ones.
Since 2011, Octa has been a global broker offering online trading services. The company has built a robust network of charitable and humanitarian initiatives, focusing on enhancing educational infrastructure and providing swift relief to local communities.
