The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and the Crown Prince donate 150 million to the Jood platform
In a generous gesture that embodies the highest meanings of social solidarity and the wise leadership’s concern for understanding the needs of citizens, the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, Crown Prince and Prime Minister - may God protect them - launched the national campaign for charitable work through the “Jood Housing” platform, by presenting two generous donations totaling 150 million riyals.
The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques donated 100 million riyals, while His Royal Highness the Crown Prince donated 50 million riyals, as part of their continued commitment to supporting national initiatives aimed at providing a decent life for the most needy families in the Kingdom, and promoting the values of giving and generosity in Saudi society, especially during seasons of giving.
The implications of donation and its social dimensions
This generous support from the leadership sends a strong signal to the private sector, business leaders, and all members of society to contribute to this national campaign. The initiative of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and the Crown Prince is not merely financial support; it is a motivating message affirming that charitable work is a fundamental pillar in building a cohesive society, and that providing suitable housing for citizens is a core priority for the state.
The “Jood Housing” platform is one of the initiatives of the National Housing Development Foundation (Sakan), which aims to involve the community in providing assistance for housing donations through a reliable platform that ensures transparency and accuracy in delivering support to those who deserve it.
Jood Housing Platform and the Kingdom's Vision 2030
The goals of the "Jood" campaign align directly with the objectives of the Kingdom's Vision 2030, specifically regarding the housing program and the quality of life program. The Kingdom aims to increase homeownership rates among its citizens, with a particular focus on the most vulnerable groups covered by social security programs.
The platform is characterized by high governance that ensures the verification of beneficiary data in cooperation with relevant government agencies, which enhances the confidence of donors and ensures that Zakat and Sadaqah funds are directed to secure housing for deserving families with ease and convenience.
Impact of the initiative on the non-profit sector
This event reflects the significant development witnessed by the non-profit sector in the Kingdom, where charitable work has transformed from individual efforts to organized, institutional work based on technology and data. These campaigns have contributed in recent years to providing thousands of housing units, achieving social and economic stability for thousands of families across the Kingdom and strengthening the role of the third sector as a key contributor to comprehensive national development.
