We have zero tolerance for money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, or any use of our organization for illicit purposes. This policy outlines our commitment to preventing financial crime.
Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to:
- Prevent Wesal from being used, knowingly or unknowingly, to launder money or finance unlawful activity.
- Ensure compliance with applicable anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist-financing laws.

Our Commitments
Know Your Donor: We take reasonable steps to understand the source of significant donations and may request additional information or verification for large or unusual contributions.
Monitoring: We monitor donations and financial transactions for activity that appears unusual, suspicious, or inconsistent with a donor’s known profile.
Secure Processing: Donations are processed through trusted, regulated third-party payment providers that maintain their own anti-fraud and anti-money-laundering controls.
Source of Funds: We reserve the right to decline, return, or report any donation where the source of funds is unclear, suspicious, or potentially linked to unlawful activity.
Record Keeping: We maintain appropriate records of donations and financial transactions in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Prohibited Activities
Wesal will not:
- Accept donations known or suspected to derive from criminal activity.
- Knowingly engage with individuals or entities subject to applicable sanctions.
- Facilitate any transaction intended to disguise the origin of unlawfully obtained funds.
- Provide support to any individual or entity associated with terrorism or unlawful activity.
Due Diligence on Beneficiaries and Partners
Before disbursing funds to partners, vendors, or field operations, we take reasonable steps to verify their legitimacy and to ensure aid reaches its intended, lawful charitable purpose.

Email: [email address] Phone: [phone number]
