Based on the Kingdom’s vision 2030 and its ambitious programs that confirm the interest and keenness of the wise leadership to empower Saudi women, Mawaddah Charitable Association continues to implement the “Post-Divorce Rehabilitation” sessions program, which stems from the Society’s mission to empower and enhance the capabilities of divorced women and their children, to move them from the need for independence and production. The program was designed to contribute to overcoming the divorce crisis and address its psychological and social effects through motivation, self-development, and the formation of a balanced personality capable of social and professional integration, as well as providing beneficiaries with successful skills and methods that enable them to adapt and plan for a future life.
The Charitable Association has started implementing a new project of the program this year, 1st of February, until 30th April. It contains 9 rehabilitation and advisory sessions at an average of 22 qualifying hours, whereby divorced women with low economic incomes are enrolled in rehabilitative treatment sessions in the psychological, social, legal, economic and group therapy aspects, with the aim of helping them complete their scientific and practical career, as well as investing the beneficiaries’ abilities to become an active part in their society capable of self-sufficiency and professionalism.
The free program, which is implemented by Mawaddah Charitable Association, based on a sense of social responsibility towards the homeland and the citizen, aims to rehabilitate 20 beneficiaries psychologically and socially to restore psychological balance to their lives in order to invest their own capabilities to have an effective impact in building personality and sustainability at work.
Among the most prominent achievements of the program, which was implemented from 2014 to 2021, was the rehabilitation of 598 women, as training and transportation were provided free of charge, as well as the provision of free post-program social and psychological counseling, and continuous improvement and development to raise the program’s impact level.
