Humanity is in our nature,and we all have a desire to do good. Our nature is human, and our values are great, and only that befits us!
Individual social work is important, but innovative institutional work is essential for human and community development!
A young Saudi woman who grew up in a values-driven society, inspired by her global social work experiences, aspired to build an innovative institutional entity in her country. Therefore, I and my husband Abdulaziz harnessed our capabilities and experience to make Ahyaha a revival of inspiring projects in the service of humanity, with innovation.

Ahyaha is at the forefront of developing and implementing innovative initiatives. These are either spearheaded by the foundation's internal team or facilitated through grant funding. The foundation's initiatives are meticulously crafted to positively influence three key demographics: families, women, and children, as delineated in the foundation's strategic map. To accomplish its strategic objectives and address priority issues within the community, the foundation employs two distinct methods of grant allocation:
These are strategic grants earmarked for the foundation's priority categories and issues. They receive substantial funding, effort, and attention, reflecting their importance to the foundation's mission and objectives.
These grants support a range of community issues that align with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030. They extend beyond the scope of focused grants and do not necessarily involve the foundation's priority beneficiary categories directly or indirectly. These diversified grants allow the foundation to address a broader range of issues within the community, thereby contributing to the overall development and progress of the society.
Through these grant allocation methods, Ahyaha Foundation is able to effectively channel its resources to drive impactful change in alignment with its mission and the broader national vision.
The Ahyaha Foundation disburses its support through two primary channels: Financial Grants and Consultative Grants. These are designed to suit diverse needs and scenarios, as detailed below:
Financial grants constitute the principal activity of the foundation. These are allocated as per the foundation's strategic and operational plans and are guided by the criteria and procedural steps outlined in our grant manual. This ensures alignment with the targeted impacts and the designated areas of financial grants.
In the case of financial grants, the foundation adopts a supportive, yet non-intrusive, stance. While we provide the necessary funding and backing for initiatives, we refrain from direct involvement in daily operations. We collaborate with our partners to devise and execute initiatives, supplying oversight and support, but the specifics of implementation are left to the partner organizations.
These grants leverage the expertise of the foundation's staff, experts, and consultants to offer knowledge and tools to charitable organizations. Unlike the hands-off approach with financial grants, consultative grants involve active management and supervision from the foundation. This is to ensure the efficacy of the grants and the successful implementation of the initiatives they support.
Through these two types of grants, the Ahyaha Foundation extends multifaceted support to drive sustainable development in our communities.
The Ahyaha Foundation strategically channels its grants into specific areas to maximize impact and effectively address the community's developmental needs. These focus areas are outlined as follows:
The foundation is invested in elevating the role of women in society, with particular emphasis on two aspects: -
The foundation is committed to fostering women's leadership skills, empowering them to drive change within their communities.
The development of children's cognitive and moral skills is another area of focus. The foundation invests in programs that provide children with the necessary knowledge, skills, and values to become responsible and productive members of society.
The foundation's third focus is on entire family units, with a particular emphasis on: -
Ahyaha Foundation supports initiatives aimed at equipping families with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive, recognizing that strong families form the backbone of a healthy community.
Through these strategic focus areas, the Ahyaha Foundation seeks to play a significant role in community development and enhancement.
The Abdulaziz bin Talal and Sora bint Saud Foundation for Human Development, also known as Ahyaha, was established in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. This non-profit community organization is dedicated to driving sustainable development initiatives and bolstering innovative programs that contribute to the betterment of society. Positioning itself as a developmental incubator for humanitarian entrepreneurship, Ahyaha launched its inaugural program with a series of nationwide community initiatives. These ranged from promoting traffic safety and supporting family-oriented professions to adopting smart systems in Saudi family trade, among others. His Royal Highness Prince Abdulaziz bin Talal bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, affirmed the Foundation's integral role in collaborating with governmental, private, and non-profit entities to support sustainable humanitarian projects. Acknowledging the significant evolution in societal living patterns, he emphasized the Foundation’s commitment to reconcile the needs of individuals and their communities, both now and for future generations. Her Highness Princess Sora bint Saud bin Saad Al-Saud, Vice-Chairwoman of the Board of Trustees, stressed the need to nurture an environment that inspires and attracts every program serving humanity. She noted the Foundation's keen focus on programs and projects that have a transformative impact, extending beyond their immediate beneficiaries to potential partners in serving humanity, society, and future generations. Ahyaha Foundation is also committed to implementing interactive community programs that are not only effective but also aim to empower its target audiences. The goal is to encourage individuals to become active participants in their communities rather than mere recipients of services or products.
