In the heart of Saudi Arabia, a silent revolution is unfolding, powered by the tireless efforts of the Social Enlightenment and Rehabilitation Society (Waei). With a mission to nurture harmonious family dynamics and foster societal enlightenment, Waei has extended its reach to over two million individuals across the kingdom.
Diving into the statistics, the numbers speak volumes – a staggering 12,034,543 men and 9,852,692 women have found solace and support through Waei’s comprehensive family assistance programs. Yet, behind these figures lie stories of transformation and empowerment.
Dr. Hamid Al-Shayji, the Vice Chairman of Waei’s Board of Directors, elucidates the society’s multifaceted approach. Through education initiatives and advocacy, Waei endeavors to cultivate a culture of respect and understanding within families. From parenting courses to rehabilitation programs, Waei’s endeavors span the spectrum of societal needs.
However, amidst their noble pursuits, Waei has faced unfounded allegations circulating on social media platforms. Al-Shayji dismisses claims of biased practices, asserting Waei’s commitment to gender equality and fairness. Despite attempts to discredit their work, Waei remains steadfast in its mission to serve the community.
Yet, amidst the triumphs lie sobering truths. Alarming reports of domestic violence, even from unexpected quarters, highlight the urgency of Waei’s mission. Dr. Maha Al-Munif’s research underscores the prevalence of such issues, both locally and globally, shedding light on the complexities of familial relationships.
Despite the challenges, Waei persists in its quest for societal enlightenment. Through collaborative efforts and innovative initiatives like the Family Leadership License Project, they aim to equip individuals with the tools for building resilient and thriving families.
As Waei continues to weave its tapestry of social change, one thing remains clear – their impact transcends numbers, touching the lives of countless Saudis, and paving the way for a brighter, more enlightened future.
