Jubail Municipality allocates 30 sites for productive families during Ramadan
In a move reflecting the commitment of service providers to supporting the local economy and strengthening social solidarity during the holy month, the Jubail Governorate Municipality the allocation of 30 free spaces for productive families in Al-Salam Park throughout Ramadan. This initiative aims to provide organized and well-equipped sales outlets that enable these families to display and market their products in an attractive and structured environment.
Enhancing the economic empowerment of families
The Mayor of Jubail Governorate, Engineer Badi Al-Qahtani, explained that this step comes as an extension of the municipality's efforts to support the productive families sector and enable them to capitalize on peak seasons such as Ramadan. He pointed out that the primary goal is to increase the income of these families and achieve economic sustainability for their small projects, thus transforming them from recipients of aid to active contributors to the governorate's economy.
Social and economic dimensions of the initiative
The importance of this initiative extends beyond mere profitability, encompassing profound social and cultural dimensions. Supporting productive families is an integral part of the Kingdom's Vision 2030 objectives, which focus on increasing the contribution of small and micro enterprises to the GDP. Ramadan markets serve as a vital platform for showcasing local heritage, traditional cuisine, and handicrafts, thus strengthening cultural identity and creating a distinctive Ramadan atmosphere for both visitors and residents.
Strategic location and tourist attraction
Peace Park was carefully chosen to host this event due to its strategic location and expansive grounds, which attract large numbers of visitors and picnickers, especially during the vibrant social gatherings of Ramadan nights. The municipality has worked to organize the site in a way that ensures smooth traffic flow and reflects the aesthetic appeal of the area, thus enhancing the visitor experience and raising the overall quality of life in the governorate.
Effective community partnership
This initiative underscores the municipality's role as an active partner in local community development. Through community engagement programs, it seeks to create seasonal economic opportunities that support entrepreneurs and home-based businesses. These sites are expected to be very popular, encouraging the continuation and expansion of such initiatives in future seasons to include a wider range of beneficiaries and cover other vital locations in Jubail Governorate.
