About the Cause

Poor health and nutrition negatively affect children’s school attendance and ability to learn. We implement school feeding programs that look for alternative ways to ensure sustainable supply of nutritious foods to school children and young people in urban and marginalized areas. 

In addition, contaminated water and poor sanitation are big factors that result in the death of children worldwide. In our programs, we always include what is called WASH which means Water, Sanitation & Hygiene. This is done through the design and construction of child-friendly and gender sensitive facilities for sanitation, such as latrines and hand-washing stations. We also provide clean water supply by building water wells and raise awareness about the importance of sanitation and hygiene.
 

My Story

Some of our Mace colleagues are taking part in the Riyadh Marathon event on Saturday 10th of February. There is a 4km fun run, a 10km run and the 42km full Marathon. Its not only a great opportunity for us to get together, but also to raise money for a good cause!
