Represented by its Family Empowerment Department, the MSDF recently organized a vibrant event along the Al-Shamal Corniche. The initiative drew a significant number of residents from the northern region, all supporting showcasing and promoting products from local entrepreneurs. This effort underscores the MSDF's commitment to facilitating collaborations with relevant entities to bolster these businesses. A key objective is to prominently feature the participation of Home-Grown Project owners in various national events, thereby fostering their economic empowerment.

Reflecting on her Home-Grown Project, "Ahla Ta'am" (Sweetest Taste), Ms. Athba Al-Muhaze shared, "My home-based venture began in 2015, sparked by a lifelong passion for entrepreneurship and a dream of owning an ice cream parlor. Thankfully, things have progressed smoothly."
Describing a pivotal moment, Ms. Al-Muhaze highlighted the MSDF's selection of her "Ahla Ta'am" cart for the Family Day event on the Al-Shamal Corniche as a game-changer. Offering advice to aspiring entrepreneurs, she stressed the importance of well-considered plans and a thorough feasibility study. Resilience against discouragement is crucial, as dedication and continuous improvement drive a project's success and public appeal. I extend my sincere gratitude to the MSDF for this valuable opportunity."
In a related activity, Ms. Bibi Abdullah conducted a popular gift-wrapping workshop, demonstrating creative ways to repurpose used office materials like fabric, adhesive paper, ribbons, and decorative flowers.
