He thanked the management of Red Sea Mall for their proactivity and citizenship for supporting the families and providing them free outlets.

"As part of our social responsibility, we are pleased to sign the Memorandum of Understanding for the productive families’ booth. We will strive to play a leading role in supporting our community, through the “Osar” (families) project, which will promote the improving the lives of families and beneficiaries of productive charities.

This will be the biggest motivation for the success of this project, in addition to the support and collaboration with the Ministry."
