“We always look forward to exchanging knowledge and cooperating with local and international institutions for the best interest of our people, and designing developmental programs related to housing and social development schemes, which constitute a basic social sector element “, Dr. Al Kheili noted.

On the sidelines of the series of meetings held with HRH Princess Lamia’ bint Majid Al So’od, General Secretary of Al Walid Philanthropies, the most remarkable developmental housing projects were highlighted, along with the hospitality project under which eligible women are received and qualified to help them play a productive role in their communities.

The presentation discussed the multiple roles of EWAA including provision of care and qualification to victims of violence, e.g. providing shelter, designing and implementing specific qualification programs to re-integrate them in their communities and homelands, and developing a mechanism to follow them up after leaving the shelters in coordination with concerned authorities.
