Hello everyone
I should be moving with my husband-to-be to Jeddah by end of the year. I work in Corporate Responsibility for one of the Big 4. I am not sure if I'll be able to transfer to Jeddah office. So I was wondering about community work. What are some of the available NGOs that work in environmental sustainability, education or poverty alleviation (if any)?
Also I am an amateur mosaic artist. Would you know of any centres/schools that give classes or places that sell tools and tiles?
Thanks

Hey Nehla,
Sustainability and CSR are hot topics in Saudi Arabia nowadays. There are lots of private companies (few NGOs) that started issuing Sustainability reports.
Tamkeen is one office that do sustainability reports here in Saudi and helps companies with building CSR Programs.
Abdul Latif Jameel is the biggest in Jeddah in Community Initiatives and CSR
SEDCO Holding has a great CSR program called Riyali (I Just love it)
AME (Dr. Ihab Abu Rokbah Office) is another Office to look at
