These beneficiaries were chosen from both the first and second quarters of the current year, 2023.

During the distribution ceremony, Mohammed Al-Hidari, the Director of Public Relations for the Association, emphasized the significance of the “Safe Space for Women and Girls” program. He highlighted the numerous achievements resulting from its implementation.
