channels, creating active social and educational events and working hand in hand with the government and private sector for a fitter KSA. For Mawaddah, the Empowerment Hub created the Nabni Lahom campaign to raise funds and generate awareness regarding the cause. The campaign, which commenced last fall, consists of various fitness events that not only ignited the charitable spirit of participants but also engage their wellness as individuals. Nabni Lahom also created sponsorship packages for enterprises wanting to support this worthwhile initiative.

One of the favorite events we’ve attended thus far is Rawigi, a yoga retreat at the heart of Bujairy - a feat on its own. The Empowerment Hub managed to bring together the best yogis and fitness centers in the city to create a first of its kind activity. The event was followed up with a Spinathon at Dirab Motor Sports. In the middle of the desert with a marvelous view of cliffs on the horizon and as the breathtaking sun sets, women from all over Riyadh rode in support of the cause. As part of the Nabni Lahom campaign, the Empowerment Hub in partnership with Wild Guanabana has organized the Kili4Mawaddah, a journey to

the peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro. The climb was done by inspiring individuals not only from Saudi Arabia but also the entire region. The climbers are all self-funded and any donations and proceeds the climb will generate goes to Beit Mawaddah.

From the dedication and passion of the women behind Mawaddah, the Empowerment Hub, volunteers and every person in the community will rise a safe sanctuary for children. This only goes to show that if we took the time to support what’s good in the city, then in one way or another, we can indeed be part of the difference. Web: theempowermenthub.com/nabnilahom
