الوداد تطلق حملة «ناخذهم بالأحضان»

The Al-Wedad Association for Orphan Care launched the "We Embrace Them" campaign, coinciding with World Adoption Day, aimed at promoting the culture of adoption in society, informing families interested in it about its procedures, and expressing gratitude to more than 11,000 Saudi families who adopt orphaned children in various regions of the Kingdom, giving them a chance to grow up in a family where they find love, safety, and belonging.
The campaign involves government, private, and non-profit organizations, which share its awareness messages on social media platforms and host field events at their workplaces to educate their staff about adoption and its impact on the lives of children, families, and the community.
Abdullah bin Abdulrahman Al-Najjar, the Director of Corporate Communication at the Al-Wedad Association, stated that the campaign carries a message of thanks to the adopting families and opens the door for dialogue with families considering adoption. He added, "We say to every adopting family, thank you for giving a child a place in the details of your life, and an opportunity to grow up among those who love him and share his first steps. Through the participation of various entities in the campaign, we aim to reach families in their workplaces and through the platforms they use daily, to bring the experience of adoption closer to them and answer their questions about the first step."
The campaign is part of Al-Wedad's annual efforts to raise awareness about adoption, highlighting the role of the family in building a child's sense of safety and belonging, and the importance of supporting adopting families in their journey.
The Al-Wedad Association operates under the supervision of the National Center for the Development of the Non-Profit Sector, serving as the executive arm of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development in the field of adopting orphaned children without known parents under the age of two. The association receives children and places them with qualified families in various regions of the Kingdom according to standards and procedures that consider the child's best interests, while also supporting families in providing a safe and stable environment for their growth.
The association invited families interested in adoption to learn about its conditions and procedures, emphasizing that the decision of one family could be the beginning of a new story in a child's life.
