Jood Regions housing campaign collects SR1.8 billion in Ramadan donations

RIYADH, March 31, 2025: The Jood Regions housing campaign in Saudi Arabia raised a total of SR1.8 billion ($491.7 million) during Ramadan.

The initiative assisted over 11,479 families through cash donations, financing solutions, housing unit construction donations, and in-kind contributions.

Abdulaziz Al-Kuraidis, secretary-general of the National Developmental Housing Corporation (Sakan), expressed gratitude to all donors, including King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who contributed a combined total of SR150 million.

“This widespread participation reflects the spirit of social responsibility among our nation’s people and aligns with the national vision to provide deserving families with stable and dignified housing,” said Al-Kuraidis.

“At the Sakan Foundation, we will continue to work with our partners to develop innovative initiatives and partnerships that contribute to sustainable development and support the goals of Saudi Vision 2030.”

Al-Kuraidis mentioned that the platform would keep advancing the Sakan Foundation’s objectives by implementing comprehensive projects.

The Jood Regions campaign, first launched during Ramadan 2024, aims to provide adequate housing for families across Saudi Arabia and successfully delivered over 10,000 housing units across the 13 provinces.

The initiative also includes events to raise awareness and foster community participation, bringing together entrepreneurs, leaders, and others to ensure citizens can access suitable housing easily and reliably, furthering the goals of developmental housing projects.

The Wad Al-Iskan platform has been crucial to the success of the Jood Regions campaign, Al-Kuraidis previously stated. The platform, part of Sakan, allows people to donate online to help families secure proper housing.
