Madinah governor opens SR52m ‘Charity City’

Madinah Gov. Prince Faisal bin Salman launched on Monday a 14-story complex costing SR52 million that would house all the region’s charities.
Speaking at the opening, Prince Faisal, who is also chairman of the Charitable Society for Social Services, said the complex would have state-of-the art facilities that would streamline services to the needy.
Abdul Barie bin Awadh Al-Thibaiti, secretary general of the society, said the new building would generate much-needed funds for charitable activities. He said the 30-year-old organization helps more than 6,000 students a year on a five-year budget of SR33 million.
He said it has four business incubators for women in various parts of the region and is keen to ensure greater financial strength to meet growing demands, which includes assisting needy families with cash for the education of their children.
