In recognition of the World Humanitarian Day, marked every year on Aug. 19, Rosewood Jeddah hosted 30 orphans from Albir Society at its Habsburg restaurant, in an event organized to celebrate the achievements of the charitable society in providing opportunities and safety for these children.
During the event, Mazen Allam, managing director of Rosewood Jeddah, said: “Rosewood Jeddah has been actively involved in giving back to society for the past decade. As an institution, our aim is to grow our role and involvement in improving the lives of everyone in the community we belong to. It’s a great honor for us to celebrate World Humanitarian Day with Albir Society and their wonderful children.
“I would like to extend great thanks to their CEO Mohieddin Hakami, who not only made this possible but with the support of his team managed to help us organize all of this.”
Allam also highlighted Rosewood Jeddah’s plan to continue its support to Albir Society in the future.
This year, World Humanitarian Day has been themed “It Takes a Village,” shining a light on the thousands of volunteers, professionals and crisis-affected people who deliver urgent healthcare, shelter, food, protection, water and much more.
On a day where we are reminded to recognize our fellow brothers and sisters in the world, Rosewood Jeddah looked to support the orphaned children, donating 30 stationery kits to prepare them for studies and their journey back to school.
“Every child has the right to dream, and the right to opportunity. It gives us great pleasure to be able to support these kids in their return to school and to continue supporting them to aspire and reach their goals,” said Allam, as he reaffirmed Rosewood Jeddah’s commitment toward their social responsibility.
Albir Society is a charitable society under the supervision of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development in Saudi Arabia led by Makkah Governor Khalid bin Faisal as the honorary chairman. For more than a decade, Albir has provided aid and support to families in need, patients and orphans in the community and surrounding environment. Albir society continues to encourage the complementary relationship between the government, private sector, and charitable entities to direct their social responsibilities to charity work.
