The Housing Development Corporation (HDC) has donated MVR 1 million to the International Aid Campaign (IAC), an NGO that has faced criticism for not disclosing details of expenditure and use of donations.
HDC made the MVR 1 million donation to help Palestinians suffering in Gaza, IAC said in a social media post yesterday. The money was deposited to the Gaza Emergency Relief fund, it added.
IAC opened the fund to provide assistance to victims of Israel's genocide and attacks in Gaza since last October. Millions of Rufiyaa were donated to the fund over the past six months.
But IAC has not revealed details about the collected funds and expenses to date.
When IAC previously faced serious allegations on social media, Azhad Ahmed, IAC's director of media and public relations, told Adhadhu that audit reports and details of expenditure would be disclosed very soon.
"We will also hold forums for the public very clearly with presentations as well [about IAC's work]," he said at the time.
"We will make it public, we will make it public very transparently. I don't want to say an exact date. But we are working on it. At the moment, our main focus is on the situation facing Gaza. Our whole team is working on that," Azhad said in October.
But six months have passed since then. As the details promised by IAC had not been disclosed, Adhadhu sent an official email to the NGO on March 12. But IAC has not replied so far.
