Mohamed Yousuf Naghi Motors (MYNM), MINI’s official importer in Saudi Arabia, supported Ameer Al-Rimawai, founder of Backpackers Social Enterprise, a charitable organization, on his 100 km plus walk from Jeddah to Thuwal in support of World Diabetes Day.
The MINI countryman accompanied Ameer on his two-day journey to raise awareness of the dangers of diabetes in the Kingdom as part of the global awareness drive. Diabetes is one of the causes that Ameer supports through his foundation. The foundation helps local communities to raise awareness of various illnesses. Diabetes affects 7.8 percent among the people of 25-34 ages and 50.4 percent of 65+ ages, according to the Saudi Health Information Survey Handbook published in 2013.
MYNM MD Stavros Paraskevaides said: “Mohamed Yousuf Naghi Motors has a duty to the community that has helped us grow and become the organization we are today. We do this by supporting great initiatives like Ameer Mohammed’s 100 km walk for World Diabetes Day. MINI is our partner in this campaign as we feel it holds the same values and is a brand that loves and celebrates life. We will continue to support projects that benefit our community.”
MYNM says it places a high value on CSR and consistently strives to support events in the larger community and society. In 2014, the MINI importer helped raise funds for the Down Syndrome Foundation (SAUT) in Saudi Arabia. In the same year, support was given to the National Home Health Care Foundation which aims to develop and spread home health care services throughout the Western Province by improving social and health awareness in the society.
