It boasts technical, entrepreneurial, and leadership capacity-building programs for rural women, as well as the provision of the tools and equipment needed to launch income-generating activities, thereby boosting their economic opportunities and improving their sources of income.

He said the Kaaba is the qibla of Muslims and that its washing carries profound spiritual significance, reflecting the divine command to purify it.
Al-Sudais said the presidency is dedicated to conveying the religious message of the Two Holy Mosques, enriching visitors' religious experience, and promoting the values of moderation and balance.
