Driving Humanitarian Efforts: How B4B Supports Human Appeal’s Global Relief Operations

Introduction

B4B Payments has been a steadfast champion of social and financial inclusion, actively supporting the charity sector for years. Through strategic partnerships with organisations dedicated to these critical causes, B4B Payments continues to drive meaningful change, ensuring financial empowerment reaches those who need it most.

When Human Appeal chose to partner with B4B Payments, it was more than just a typical client relationship; it was the beginning of a meaningful collaboration that reflects a shared dedication to making a lasting impact.

Supporting Human Appeal

Human Appeal is a non-profit organisation aiming to provide immediate relief and self-sustaining development programmes to help fight poverty, social injustice, and natural disasters.

This respected organisation approached B4B Payments in 2016 for a solution to assist its process of purchasing emergency supplies. The B4B Payments expense management solution for prepaid cards was the perfect offering. For B4B Payments, supporting an impactful association such as this was a natural extension of its commitment to social good and financial inclusion.

Addressing Challenges

For a non-profit like Human Appeal, purchasing essentials like food, blankets, shelter and medical care is ongoing and has the potential to become troublesome and complicated.

Introducing expense cards that can be managed and disbursed via the B4B Payments portal helped alleviate the pain points of money disbursement for Human Appeal. With an alternative to cash and a detailed reporting system, funds raised are able to be topped up remotely onto cards, tracked and monitored by team leaders.

B4B Payments and Human Appeal, committed to Shariah-compliant practices, work together to ensure Zakat funds are distributed according to Islamic principles and directed to the areas of greatest need. This partnership guarantees that the aid provided is financially responsible and entirely in line with Shariah law, reflecting the core values of the Islamic faith.

Simplifying Financial Management for Aid Workers

Having to manage the distribution of various types of payments to representatives of the organisation, either one-off or regular top-up payments, was made effortless for Human Appeal through the use of the B4B Payments easy-to-use management platform.

When a virtual or physical card is provided to an aid worker, the spending within their card can be simply monitored and reported via the portal. This functionality streamlines the fund management process, therefore removing pressure from Human Appeal.

A Lasting Partnership

The collaboration between B4B Payments and Human Appeal represents more than just a business relationship; it is a powerful example of how technology can be harnessed to drive meaningful social impact. This partnership has enabled Human Appeal to carry out its vital work with greater efficiency and transparency by simplifying fi nancial processes and ensuring the responsible distribution of funds. As both organisations continue to grow together, their shared commitment to social good and Shariah-compliant practices remains at the heart of their efforts. This lasting partnership not only empowers Human Appeal’s global relief operations but also sets a model for how financial services can support charitable missions in a way that benefits communities worldwide.
