Riyadh inaugurated a groundbreaking center dedicated to homeless women’s rehabilitation, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported on Tuesday. The facility aims to foster social reintegration through tailored support programs.
Ajwad, the National Society for Community Services, will manage the center. It offers medical care, mental health counseling, and skill-building workshops to rebuild independence. Transitional job placements and housing assistance will further stabilize beneficiaries’ lives.
The Sulaiman Al-Rajhi Charitable Foundation collaborates on the project, amplifying its reach. Khalid Al-Ajlan, Ajwad’s Vice Chairman, highlighted partners’ critical role in addressing societal gaps. “We prioritize dignity and sustainable solutions,” he stated during the ceremony.
Leadership Commitment to Vulnerable Groups
Al-Ajlan reiterated Ajwad’s mission to uplift marginalized communities, including homeless individuals and those with mental health challenges. The center aligns with Saudi Vision 2030 goals to enhance quality of life and social equity.
Established in 2017 under Health Minister Dr. Fahad Al-Jalajel’s leadership, Ajwad has championed community-driven initiatives. Its programs now span 14 regions, offering crisis intervention and long-term rehabilitation nationwide.
By merging healthcare, counseling, and vocational training, the center equips women with tools to thrive. Community leaders urge public engagement to ensure no individual faces homelessness alone.
