Sadara Chemical Company has concluded its Gift of Giving campaign, a wide-ranging Jubail community outreach effort conducted during the holy month of Ramadan and the Eid Al-Fitr holiday.

The campaign consisted of four main initiatives — Iftar Sa’em, Day of Joy, Home Renovation and Joyful Eid — all focused on giving back to the Jubail community and encouraging Sadara employee volunteerism. More than 125 Sadara volunteers participated in the various events and initiatives, contributing over 1,000 volunteer hours throughout the campaign. The events were organized and executed with support from the Jubail Volunteering Club (JVC).

Faisal Algurouni, VP industrial relations at Sadara, stressed that Sadara is committed to providing ongoing support and development to the community in Jubail, where the company is based.

“Sadara is proud to collaborate with local institutions such as the Jubail Volunteering Club in efforts of this kind — providing the local community with vital support in the form of social programs and initiatives that create value and foster growth, particularly for underprivileged segments of the community. The holy month of Ramadan provides a unique opportunity to deliver this kind of support and build positive, long-lasting ties with the community,” he added.

The first of Sadara’s Gift of Giving events, Iftar Sa’em, took place on June 18, in downtown Jubail. Volunteers provided over 2,000 nutritious iftar meals prepared by productive families in Jubail. Some 25 Sadara employees teamed up with 10 JVC members.

Fahad Al-Qahtani, customer services coordinator at Sadara and volunteer at the Iftar Sa’em event, said, “Iftar Sa’em event is the perfect opportunity for volunteers to give back to the community and say ‘thank you’ to those who deserve it the most, but often receive the least.”

The Day of Joy initiative organized a day of entertainment and educational activities for underprivileged orphan children.
