What مؤسسة عبدالعزيز بن طلال وسُرى بنت سعود للتنمية الإنسانية does

Ahyaha Humanity Foundation (Abdulaziz bin Talal and Sora bint Saud Foundation for Human Development) is a privately-held, non-profit humanitarian development foundation headquartered in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, established by Prince Abdulaziz bin Talal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and Princess Sora bint Saud. The foundation operates a grant-making model that channels support to official entities in the government, non-profit, and private sectors through two grant types: Focused Grants, which account for 60% of disbursements and target women, children, and families, and Diversified Grants, which account for 40% and align with Saudi Vision 2030 priorities. Grants are delivered via two mechanisms — Financial Grants, in which partners implement with foundation oversight, and Consultative Grants, in which foundation staff and external experts provide active management and capacity-building support. The foundation has no proprietary technology platform; all submissions are received via email ([email protected]) and recruitment/volunteer intake is handled through Google Forms and the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development's national volunteering platform (nvg.gov.sa).

Beyond grant-making, Ahyaha runs a portfolio of community programs including the Rescue Initiative (training in rescue, first aid, swimming, diving), the Sai Initiative (computer maintenance and telecommunications training for youth in Jazan), the Bread for All initiative (sustenance for over 4,000 individuals in underserved Riyadh neighborhoods), the Ahyaha Sacrifice Initiative (Eid al-Adha vouchers for 150 families), the Durur Nuhayiha Program (future-skills training for children aged 8–12), and the Dorra Talal Project (caregiver training in early childhood care). The foundation has built an extensive partner ecosystem spanning Saudi ministries (Health, Human Resources, National Guard), major corporates (Saudi Aramco, Saudi Takaful Insurance), the Social Development Bank, Misk Foundation, the Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu, the Family Affairs Council, AGFUND, Arab Open University, and dozens of charitable associations. The foundation holds ISO 9001:2015 quality management certification (2024), Great Place to Work certification (2025), and institutional membership in the Global Innovation Institute (2024). The organization operates with a small team of 7 employees, serves all regions and provinces of Saudi Arabia exclusively, and reports no commercial revenue stream — its inflow is derived from undisclosed endowment returns and charitable contributions.
