JEDDAH: With the project “Sacrificial meat for the people of my country,” the Nama Charitable Society distributed 219 tons of sacrificial meat to more than 10,000 families on Eid Al-Adha.
Sadiq bin Abdulkarim, the general manager of the Nama Charity, said that the “Sacrificial meat for the people of my country” project was launched with the aim of feeding the poor and needy members of society and who deserve it.
He said with the launch of this project, they tried to bring some cheer to families during Eid and celebrate it with joy like other members of the community.
He thanked all the participants who helped the charity in providing 219 tons of meat for the poor and needy families, and the 185 volunteers who not only supervised the sacrifice of the animals at 10 slaughterhouses, but also packed and distributed all the meat with dedication to beneficiary families.
He also thanked those who made the database of beneficiary families, and registered them with the charity.
He explained that the sacrifice of the animals and distribution of the meat started on the first day of Eid, and continued until the third day. Transporting the meat to the beneficiaries was a hard task, but the dedicated volunteers did this job very efficiently.
Abdulkarim also thanked the Makkah Governorate, the Ministry of Labor and Social Development, and the concerned government agencies, as well as the private sector and philanthropists for their contributions to the success of the project.

France, Saudi collaborate on space for artists in Riyadh
- L’Institut francais, Riyadh Art will open La Fabrique on Feb. 22
- ‘New cultural chapter’ between the nations, says France envoy
RIYADH: L’Institut francais in Saudi Arabia and Riyadh Art, an initiative of the city’s royal commission, have announced the opening of La Fabrique, a space for artists, on Jan. 22.
The project is based in the Riyadh Art Hub in JAX District and will enable Saudi and French artists to create, experiment, and bring their visions to life, according to a press release from the organizers.
La Fabrique also offers the public a rare opportunity to witness creative production including movement performances, digital and immersive arts, photography, music, cinema, cuisine and poetry.
At its core, La Fabrique fosters artistic exchange between French and Saudi artists, fostering new encounters, shared practices, and co-creation.
The initiative is aligned with the vision shared by French President Emmanuel Macron and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who have placed cultural cooperation at the heart of the renewed Saudi-French strategic partnership.
Anchored in the ambitions of Vision 2030, La Fabrique is a part of Riyadh’s transformation into a major international cultural hub.
Developed in cooperation with Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Culture, the project strengthens the long-standing cultural dialogue between the two nations, the press release stated.
Patrick Maisonnave, ambassador of France to Saudi Arabia, said: “La Fabrique embodies the spirit of a new cultural chapter between France and Saudi Arabia.
“By bringing our artists together, we are not only sharing techniques and traditions, we are opening a space where imaginations meet, new forms emerge, and creativity becomes a bridge between our two societies.
“This initiative reflects our belief that artistic dialogue is one of the most powerful ways to build understanding, trust, and a shared future. It stands as a concrete example of France’s contribution to the ambitions of Vision 2030.”
