The “Saee Summer” program comes as part of initiatives aimed at empowering people with disabilities, developing their practical skills, and enhancing their readiness for the labor market by providing hands-on training opportunities across participating companies and organizations. This contributes to building their experience and preparing them for their future career paths.

The ceremony recognized the companies and partner organizations that contributed to the success of the program by hosting and training beneficiaries and providing a supportive practical environment that helped them gain the skills and experience needed for the labor market. Riyadh International Catering Corporation – McDonald’s Saudi Arabia was also recognized for its role and contribution in supporting the program and its continued efforts in empowering people with disabilities.

This participation comes as an extension of the longstanding relationship and partnership between McDonald’s Saudi Arabia and Saee Charity Foundation for more than 10 years, which has resulted in several joint initiatives and efforts in empowering people with disabilities and enhancing their career opportunities. Through this partnership, more than 50 people with Down Syndrome have been employed across several regions of the Kingdom, including Riyadh, the Eastern Region, and the Northern Region, reflecting the company’s belief in their capabilities and its commitment to providing job opportunities that enable their active participation in the labor market and society.
