Silver Jubilee: A Quarter Century of Giving and Empowerment
The organization of the 25th edition of the "Creations" exhibition marks a pivotal moment in the association's history, embodying a quarter-century of dedicated work to empower Saudi women in the Eastern Province. The exhibition is more than just a fleeting marketing event; it is an extension of a long legacy of initiatives aimed at transforming families from recipients of aid to active contributors to development, aligning with the goals of the Kingdom's Vision 2030, which focuses on supporting the non-profit sector and increasing its contribution to the GDP.
Economic recovery and support for productive families
The exhibition directly contributed to boosting sales for 75 participating projects, ranging from home-based businesses to emerging female entrepreneurs. This platform provided a golden opportunity for participants to showcase their products, which included traditional jalabiyas with modern touches, locally made perfumes, jewelry, and intricate handicrafts. This diversity not only highlighted the craftsmanship of Saudi women but also underscored their ability to compete in the retail market and offer high-quality products that meet the tastes of local consumers.
Integration of efforts and efficiency of organization
The exhibition demonstrated a high level of organizational professionalism, thanks to the combined efforts of national staff. Fifty members of the association, supported by ten volunteers and seven strategic partners, participated in managing the event. The association's centers, such as the "Ataa Al-Khair" Center and the "Family Education" Center, played a prominent role in promoting the exhibition's developmental focus by linking training and qualification outcomes to real market opportunities, thus ensuring sustainable income for the beneficiaries.
The social impact of the exhibition
The impact of "Creations 25" extends beyond the economic sphere to encompass a profound social impact. The exhibition serves as an annual gathering that strengthens social bonds in Al-Khobar and the Eastern Province. The large public turnout, exceeding five thousand visitors, underscores the association's standing in the hearts of the region's residents and reflects the community's desire to support local products and encourage impactful women's initiatives.
