Saudi Arabia continues to lead globally in humanitarian and development initiatives through innovative projects aimed at improving quality of life in developing countries.
The Kingdom is actively enabling communities to adopt clean cooking technologies that significantly reduce harmful emissions and improve indoor air quality.
These efforts align with Saudi Vision 2030 and the UN Sustainable Development Goals, as the Kingdom partners with international organizations and environmental agencies to provide safe, eco-friendly alternatives to traditional cooking methods reliant on wood or charcoal—often linked to serious health risks, particularly for women and children.
Initiatives include distributing high-efficiency stoves powered by clean gas or electricity to rural areas, alongside training families in optimal usage. This not only reduces indoor pollution but also safeguards public health.
Officials highlighted that these projects aim not only to protect the environment but also to economically empower communities by creating local job opportunities in the manufacturing and maintenance of such stoves—contributing to sustainable development and poverty reduction.
