Royal Commission in Makkah launches second phase of Zad Al-Ilm initiative

The Royal Commission for Makkah has commenced the second phase of its Zad Al-Ilm initiative, which aims to aid 10,000 students by partnering with 12 organizations. The initiative, launched in the Sumo district of Makkah, will span five days and coincide with the beginning of the new academic year. Last year's launch was a collaborative effort between the Royal Commission for the City of Makkah and Holy Sites and the Ghaith Charity Association.

This year, the initiative will distribute tablets, clothing, school bags, and essential supplies to the beneficiaries, following modern educational trends. The initiative has garnered support from diverse sectors, including public, private, and non-profit entities. Volunteers, numbering 103, actively participated on the first day, demonstrating the community's enthusiasm.

The initiative seeks to empower students with the necessary tools for a successful academic year, foster a culture of giving and social responsibility among participants, and promote social solidarity within the locality.
