Prince Sultan said that this generous initiative is just another proof of the care the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques shows to all citizens, and especially to people with disabilities.
The prince said that the association has been supported by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques for 30 years, and this support helped attain all the achievements and developments marked by the association in rehabilitation programs and various services to this category of citizens, as well as in raising awareness about the issue and help alleviate some of its negative impacts.
