The support of this valued category of society is distributed through several pillars, one of which is their entertainment through various events and activities that are held for them throughout the year. Another pillar is establishing and supporting training programs that contribute to helping them rely on themselves without the need to rely on others and these programs are held in cooperation with associations specialized in this field. A third pillar is the initiative to employ young people with Down syndrome, and we have today more than 40 employees with Down syndrome, and we aim to employ 50 additional young Saudi employees with Down syndrome by the end of 2022.
