The Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) will support the efforts of
the Disabled Charitable Society (Jatha) in Al-Kharj through a
recently signed agreement, the SEC reported.
Jatha’s
employees with deaf and hearing impairments, autism and mental
retardation will benefit from the pact, which includes equipping
Jatha’s new building with the necessary facilities to accommodate
the disabled.
The agreement was signed by Humoud bin Awdah
Al-Ghubainin, senior vice president of Corporate Communications &
PR for the SEC, and Abdulaziz Abdulrahman Al-Yahya, Jatha’s
chairman of the board.
Jatha helps children between the
ages of 2 and 10 through education and rehabilitation. Al-Ghubainin
said the SEC will provide computers, cameras, smart boards, equipment
for a nursing room and physiotherapy, and medical devices for
children with autism, poor learning, Down syndrome, and motor and
mental disability, as well as the blind and visually impaired.
The
partnership is part of the SEC’s social responsibility strategy.
