For over 55 years, Alnahda has worked on graduating families out of poverty. The organization adopts a holistic approach in providing financial and social support to its beneficiaries. Social workers start by identifying the needs of each poverty ridden household, and work with the beneficiary to create a personal development plan to enable her to overcome familial, educational, behavioral, health and legal related issues that hinder their role towards their families and thereby limit their social participation.
The program aligns with the National Transformation Program 2020 (NTP) strategic objective #3 that aims to “transform beneficiaries who receive Ministry support to productive members of society through reducing the number of beneficiaries who no longer need social security benefit payment (who are employable and within the working age bracket)”1. As well as the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) #1 to end poverty2 and SDG #11 “Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable”.
