Alwaleed Philanthropies, chaired by HRH Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Al Saud, participated in the “Impact of Giving” event, and announced the delivery of 100 vehicles to empower orphans and persons with disabilities, with the aim of enhancing beneficiaries’ mobility, improving their quality of life, and enabling their independence and active participation in society.

The event was held under the patronage of His Excellency the Minister of Municipalities and Housing and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Sakan Foundation, Mr. Majed bin Abdullah Al-Hogail, and was attended by HRH Princess Lamia bint Majed Al Saud, Secretary General of Alwaleed Philanthropies and Member of the Board of Trustees of Sakan, His Excellency Sheikh Dr. Abdullah bin Mohammed Al-Mutlaq, Member of the Council of Senior Scholars Committee, His Excellency the Assistant Minister of Human Resources and Social Development for Shared Services, Mr. Ismail Al-Ghamdi, as well as a number of Their Royal Highnesses, Excellencies, and distinguished guests, in addition to leaders from the government sector, the non-profit sector, and the private sector.

This contribution comes as part of the strategic partnership between Alwaleed Philanthropies, the Ministry of Municipalities and Housing, and the Sakan Foundation—recognized as the largest partnership of its kind between the government and non-profit sectors, spanning five years with a total value of SAR 2 billion. The partnership aims to enhance housing stability and deliver integrated development solutions that place people at the heart of sustainable development.

On this occasion, HRH Princess Lamia bint Majed Al Saud, Secretary General of Alwaleed Philanthropies, stated that the impact of giving is not measured by numbers alone, but by the dignity, reassurance, and stability it brings to people’s lives. HRH emphasized that stability goes beyond housing and is completed by enabling individuals to move freely and access opportunities, noting that the vehicle initiative strengthens the foundation’s integrated support system by helping beneficiaries reach employment, education, and healthcare services, while enhancing their independence and self-reliance.

HRH reaffirmed the foundation’s commitment to advancing its partnership-driven approach and responsible institutional work to achieve sustainable developmental impact that benefits individuals and communities alike.
