The Saudi Arabia 2026 Voluntary National Review, submitted to the United Nations to monitor the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, highlighted the prominent role of the Princess Al-Anoud Charitable Foundation in empowering Saudi society, as one of the non-profit organizations contributing to community development and enhancing quality of life. The report stated that the Foundation provides its services through six specialized centers targeting people with disabilities, the elderly, women and girls, youth, refugees and rural residents, and families and children, reflecting a comprehensive approach to reaching all segments of society in various regions of the Kingdom. It indicated that the Foundation collaborated with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to implement training programs for refugees residing in the Kingdom, confirming its commitment to serving all beneficiaries without discrimination, in addition to applying the “voluntary branches” model that expands its services to peripheral and remote areas in partnership with local entities. The report showed that the Foundation manages an integrated system that includes the Warif Center for Youth Development, the Training Center for International Training, the Shaden Center for Child and Family Development, the Rami Center for Innovation and Social Entrepreneurship, the Nafe' Center for Voluntary Work, and the Sukayna Center specialized in addiction prevention of both digital and substance types. It also launched the European-Arab Fellowship Program for Social Economy to qualify leaders in the non-profit sector. In the field of public health, the report indicated that the Foundation launched the first specialized diploma in drug prevention in the Kingdom under the title “Diploma in Protection and Advanced Strategies for Prevention of Psychoactive Substance Use,” in cooperation with the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of National Guard. The report explained that the Foundation set among its priorities for 2026-2030 the goal of “Sustainable Cities and Communities” within the Sustainable Development Goals, benefiting from its wide network of centers and voluntary branches spread across various regions of the Kingdom, in addition to including the goal of “Zero Hunger” in its future plans to expand food security and community development initiatives. The inclusion of the Princess Al-Anoud Foundation in the Kingdom’s Voluntary National Review reflects recognition of the growing role of non-profit sector institutions in supporting the goals of Saudi Vision 2030 and contributing to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals at the national and international levels.
