Support honors the Seeta bint Abdulaziz Endowment and signs a 2026 projects agreement
In a move reflecting the deep integration among non-profit organizations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Support Association for the Care of Divorced and Widowed Women and Their Children celebrated its strategic partnership with the Seeta bint Abdulaziz Endowment during its annual ceremony held in Jeddah on Wednesday, December 24, 2025. This recognition comes as a culmination of a long history of collaborative efforts benefiting the most vulnerable segments of society.
Strengthening the non-profit sector and Vision 2030
This event comes within the context of the significant developmental momentum witnessed by the third sector in the Kingdom, in line with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030, which focuses on increasing the non-profit sector's contribution to the GDP and maximizing its social impact. The partnership between the "Support Association" and the "Sita Endowment" is a prime example of this approach, as charitable work moves beyond simply providing direct aid to empowering beneficiaries and transforming them into productive and active members of society, thus enhancing the economic and social stability of beneficiary families.
A legacy of giving: The Sita bint Abdulaziz Endowment
The honoring of the Seeta bint Abdulaziz Endowment carries profound significance, given the historical stature of Her Royal Highness Princess Seeta bint Abdulaziz – may God have mercy on her – in the annals of Saudi philanthropy. She was renowned for her humanitarian initiatives that addressed the needs of the community, and the endowment continues her legacy today by supporting impactful projects focused on sustainability and long-term effect, as exemplified by their ongoing support for the “Daam” Association since its inception.
High-level attendance and signing of agreements
The ceremony was graced by the presence of a distinguished group of Their Royal Highnesses and leaders in social work, including Her Royal Highness Princess Noura bint Abdullah bin Mohammed bin Saud Al Kabeer, a member of the Board of Trustees of the Endowment, and Her Royal Highness Princess Jawahir bint Turki bin Abdullah, Chair of the Programs and Activities Committee. His Royal Highness Prince Faisal bin Khalid bin Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, a member of the Endowment's Advisory Council, also honored the event. The ceremony included the signing of a strategic agreement to support the association's projects for the upcoming year, 2026, ensuring the continued flow of development programs.
Tangible impact: from need to production
In her address at the ceremony, Her Royal Highness Princess Jawahir bint Turki emphasized that the partnership with “Daam” has transcended traditional notions of charitable work, creating genuine “life paths.” She explained that the joint programs have contributed to restoring stability and security to over 3,500 beneficiaries, thereby achieving family stability and dignified housing, and opening avenues for self-reliance for women and families. This approach reflects the authentic vision of endowments in creating a real and lasting impact on people's lives.
The ceremony concluded with the Secretary-General of the Seeta Bint Abdulaziz Endowment, Professor Khalid Mohammed Zahran, affirming the endowment’s commitment to continuing this integrated approach, noting that the new agreement for 2026 will open wider horizons for serving the community and empowering families, ensuring the sustainability of social programs and achieving maximum benefit for beneficiaries.
