ABOUT THE ALBAYDHA HOUSING PROJECT


Driven by data, the Albaydha Housing Project is committed to alleviating poverty through equitable housing. Using high-participatory research, we are deeply vested in co-deciding key project parameters alongside the Albaydha community. Since 2017, we have served as the national pilot for developmental housing in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Dear friends of Albaydha,

Over the last almost ten years, I have been personally deeply committed to and vested in the people of Albaydha. Side by side, we have studied and co-decided on how best to enable a sustainable future built on equitable housing for all families. We are delighted to be sharing the Albaydha Housing Project
to our friends, stakeholders, the broader ecosystem of community impact and development in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the rest of the world.
