Ramadan is More Meaningful through Donations of Suitable Wearable Items

JAKARTA - The arrival of the holy month of Ramadan is always synonymous with the spirit of sharing. However, with the development of technology, the way people donate is now growing.

Not only limited to material donations, the trend of sharing wearable goods is now starting to be sought after as a new, more sustainable lifestyle.

Utilizing a digital advertising platform, the public is now encouraged to be more observant in seeing the value of a product. Through the special category "Free Goods", residents can advertise items that are no longer used at home to be given for free to those who need it more.

OLX Director, Agung Iskandar, revealed that this initiative is part of an effort to invite people to see that sharing can start from the closest things in everyday life.

"We are using technology to bring Free Goods categories in the hope of creating a positive impact, extending the value of goods, and spreading blessings during Ramadan," he said in a written statement received on Friday, February 27.

This step is considered not only a social activity, but also supports the creation of a circular economy.

By giving goods to others, the owner of the goods has indirectly extended the life of the product and reduced the potential for household waste.

The mechanism offered is quite simple. The giver of the goods only needs to upload a photo and description of the goods, while the prospective recipient who is interested can immediately contact and pick up the goods according to the agreement.

The categories of goods distributed are also very diverse, ranging from electronic devices, hobby equipment, sports equipment, to household needs and baby equipment.

In order to expand the reach of this movement, a number of public figures such as Lutfi Afansyah, Ayla Dimitri, to Dayu Hatmanti also participated by listing their personal belongings. The presence of these influencers is expected to trigger the enthusiasm of their followers to carry out similar actions.

As a form of appreciation for public participation, the platform also prepares a number of incentives for users who are most active in sharing their goods.

Various attractive prizes, ranging from the latest game consoles to cutting-edge telecommunications devices, are prepared for those who contribute the most during the program period which runs until March 10, 2026.

Through the integration of technology and the spirit of sharing, this Ramadan is expected to be a momentum for the community to be more concerned about others while being smarter in managing the goods they own.

In addition to providing benefits for recipients, this step is a practical and economical solution in building a more inclusive digital ecosystem in Indonesia.
