Saudi Arabia has set a Guinness World Record for the largest clothing donation drive in history through a partnership between ROSHN Group and the Kiswat Farah charitable foundation. The campaign collected over 1.5 million garments and more than 59 tonnes of textiles, with thousands of volunteers taking part in sorting, packing, and distribution.

Key points:

  • The campaign was organized by ROSHN Group in partnership with the Kiswat Farah charitable foundation and was certified by Guinness World Records as the largest clothing donation drive in history
  • More than 1.5 million items and over 59 tonnes of textiles were collected, with thousands of volunteers involved in processing
  • Donated clothing was given a second life through recycling and redistribution, combining community assistance with environmental protection

Saudi Arabia has set a new world record in clothing donation. ROSHN Group and the charitable foundation Kiswat Farah jointly launched a large-scale clothing donation campaign, which received official certification from Guinness World Records as the largest clothing donation drive in history.

The campaign drew a broad response from people across Saudi Arabia. Data shows that more than 1.5 million garments were collected from donors, with the total volume of textiles exceeding 59 tonnes. These materials were centrally diverted, sorted, and redistributed.

Behind the scenes, thousands of volunteers took part in sorting, packing, and delivery work to ensure the donated goods could reach families in need.

The significance of this campaign goes beyond assisting vulnerable groups. Textile waste is one of the major environmental challenges facing the world, and by giving more than a million garments a second life through recycling and redistribution, Saudi Arabia says this demonstrates that sustainable development and community care can go hand in hand.

The organizers also noted that, with the help of smart recycling services and collaboration with local NGOs, the clothing donation process has become more convenient, and idle clothing sitting in ordinary wardrobes can also make a real impact.

For the global secondhand clothing industry, the scale of this campaign shows that a clothing collection model based on collaboration between large corporations and charitable organizations can bring together a considerable volume of textiles in a short period of time. This case also provides a practical reference for how the secondhand clothing recycling sector can combine with brands and community forces.
