Bahja Project

Strengthening the emotional and social wellbeing of patients staying in hospital over the Eid holidays by creating a festive atmosphere that eases the difficulty of being away from their families.

Target group:

All inpatients from outside Riyadh and Jeddah — more than 200 people.

Location:

King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre (Riyadh – Jeddah).

Financial scope:

SAR 450,000.

Project rationale:

  • Supporting patients emotionally so that they respond better to treatment.
  • Child patients from outside Riyadh and Jeddah miss the joy and warmth of a family atmosphere, which affects how well they respond to treatment.

Facts and figures:

  • 3 events celebrating the holidays (Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha and National Day) inside and outside the hospital.
  • 300 gift cards for Eid clothing (worth no more than SAR 500 a year per patient, around SAR 250 per Eid).
  • Gifts at Eid and on special occasions for all inpatients and their companions.
