Sakan wins global learning award in London for helping communities
Developmental Housing Foundation (Sakan) has won a big international award in London. The award is called the Learning Excellence Award. It honors groups that help people learn and grow in smart and useful ways.
Sakan won in the category of improving society through education and community awareness. This means they are being recognized for teaching people, spreading useful knowledge, and helping families live better lives.
The award celebrates Sakan’s work in making people more aware of housing needs and offering new and smart solutions. Their projects help families find proper homes and build a better future.
During the event, Sakan showed how it connects education with housing support. They explained how teaching people about housing can lead to real results, like helping families get safe and stable homes. This also helped share Saudi Arabia’s experience with the rest of the world.
Rashed Al-Jalajil said this win shows how much the nonprofit sector in Saudi Arabia has grown. He added that Sakan wants to present a strong national example that improves life quality and spreads awareness about housing.
The Learning Excellence Award is a well-known global award. It is given based on strict rules, focusing on new ideas and real impact. Many big international organizations take part in it. This is the first time a Saudi charity has won this award, making it a proud moment for the Kingdom.
Sakan works to encourage people to help each other. It supports families in need by providing housing solutions. One of its key projects is the Jood Housing platform. This platform allows people and organizations to donate and support families so they can have safe and stable homes.
This win shows that simple ideas, when done well, can change lives and build stronger communities.
