Introduction to the conclusion of the Good Housing Campaign in the Eastern Province

The Eastern Province Municipality announced the conclusion of its active and fruitful participation in the “Jood Housing” campaign, launched this year under the slogan “Generosity is from us and within us.” This strategic step comes within the framework of the municipality’s ongoing efforts to promote humanitarian work and solidify a culture of social solidarity among members of Saudi society. This pioneering national initiative aims to provide suitable housing for the most needy families, reflecting the Kingdom’s commitment to providing a dignified life for all its citizens and supporting family stability.

General context and historical background of the Jood Housing platform

The “Jood Housing” platform is one of the most prominent national initiatives in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, established to serve as a reliable link between philanthropists and families in need of housing. This campaign is fully aligned with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030, specifically the housing program, which aims to increase homeownership rates among Saudi families. Historically, Saudi society has been known for its generosity and charitable giving, and the Jood platform was created to organize this generosity and transform it into a sustainable, institutionalized effort that ensures support reaches those who deserve it with complete transparency and reliability, thus enhancing social and economic development.

Diverse activities and community engagement in key locations

The campaign in the Eastern Province witnessed the meticulous execution of 15 diverse events, strategically distributed across several key locations in Dammam to ensure reaching the widest possible audience. These events included setting up information booths in major shopping malls such as Al-Othaim Mall and Westfield Mall Dammam. Participation in the “Al-Qadisiyah Ramadan Season” and the “Love Market Days” festival was also prominent. An innovative event called “House of Generosity” was organized to introduce visitors to the campaign’s noble goals and how to contribute. To facilitate donations, the municipality provided self-service donation machines at Westfield Mall, significantly increasing participation and making it easier for donors to contribute smoothly and conveniently.

The role of volunteers in the success of national initiatives

The success of this campaign cannot be discussed without acknowledging the pivotal role played by volunteers. One hundred and thirty volunteers, both men and women, contributed significantly to the success of the Eastern Province Municipality's events, providing exceptional and high-quality services in organization, awareness campaigns, and visitor services. This remarkable turnout for volunteer work clearly reflects the spirit of giving inherent in the Eastern Province community and embodies the goals of Vision 2030, which aims to reach one million volunteers, thus contributing to building a vibrant, cohesive, and responsible society.

Expected impact and sustainable development (locally and nationally)

For his part, the Deputy Secretary of the Eastern Province for Services, Mr. Mahmoud bin Hassan Al-Ratu’i, affirmed that the “Jood Housing” campaign stems from the Secretariat’s ongoing commitment to supporting impactful community initiatives. He noted that the campaign has directly contributed to promoting the values ​​of giving and raising awareness of the importance of community participation in supporting families benefiting from housing programs.

Locally, this campaign contributes to strengthening the social fabric in the Eastern Province. Nationally, the success of such initiatives presents the Kingdom as an inspiring model of social solidarity and the provision of innovative housing solutions. Al-Ruwaie added that this success is the result of concerted efforts between various governmental and private entities, volunteers, and community members, emphasizing the municipality's continued support for initiatives that enhance quality of life and achieve sustainable development goals, building a more cohesive and sustainable society.
