The World Scout Foundation and Alwaleed Philanthrophies have a strong partnership with major achievements, most notably through their response to refugee families throughout Europe, Food for Life project in Africa, and the Disaster Preparedness Project in Indonesia. It is worth mentioning that HRH Prince Alwaleed received His Majesty King of Sweden at the Kingdom Tower in Riyadh in November 2016.
From HRH Princess Lamia’s trip, the 2030 GCC Scout Project has been signed with the Director of WSF, John Geoghegan, in the presence of HM King Carl Gustav, Lars Kolind officer-chairman, and Ahmed Alhendawi secretary general of WSF. The project’s duration is six years and aims to motivate and involve young people of both genders in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf to work on community services through development initiatives tailored to the needs in each country and serving the sustainable development objectives adopted by the United Nations.
