The Saudi Cabinet appreciates the interaction with national initiatives
In a session chaired by His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, in Jeddah, the Saudi Cabinet commended the broad and outstanding public engagement with the recently launched national initiatives. The Cabinet highly valued this response, which reflects the deeply rooted values of solidarity and generosity within Saudi society, and affirms the success of these initiatives in achieving their humanitarian and developmental goals.
General context and objectives of national initiatives
These initiatives are an integral part of the Kingdom's Vision 2030, which places great emphasis on developing the non-profit sector and promoting social responsibility. Programs such as the National Campaign for Charitable Work, through the Ihsan platform, and the Jood Housing platform aim to organize and guide charitable work to ensure that support reaches those who deserve it with the highest levels of efficiency and transparency. These platforms leverage the latest technologies to provide innovative solutions that make it easier for citizens and residents to contribute to various charitable fields, from sponsoring orphans and supporting needy families to providing suitable housing for those in need.
The importance and impact of community interaction
The government's praise for this widespread participation is not unfounded; it reflects an appreciation of the vital role citizens play in building a cohesive and interconnected society. Locally, this participation contributes to strengthening national unity and reinforcing social safety nets, thus mitigating the negative impacts of economic challenges on the most vulnerable groups. Furthermore, the success of these campaigns enhances public trust in official charitable channels and encourages the sustainability of giving as a fundamental societal value.
At both the regional and international levels, this Saudi model of institutional philanthropy presents a positive image of the Kingdom and reflects its unwavering commitment to humanitarian values. Maximizing the developmental impact of charitable work extends beyond the Kingdom's borders, serving as a vital support for its relief and humanitarian efforts worldwide, spearheaded by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center. This synergy between domestic and international giving underscores the Kingdom's position as a leading nation in humanitarian work, thereby enhancing its soft power and positive influence on the global stage.
