Bahrain Royal Foundation Launches Enriching Summer Program for Widows and Orphans
The Royal Humanitarian Foundation (RHF) has launched its annual summer program for 2025, aimed at enriching the lives of widows and orphans affiliated with the foundation. This year's program includes a wide range of 83 educational, developmental, and recreational activities.
Held during the summer break, the initiative reflects RHF's ongoing commitment to nurturing and empowering families, ensuring that children and mothers can make the most of their holidays in meaningful and enjoyable ways.
Sheikh Ali bin Khalifa Al Khalifa, Secretary-General of RHF, emphasized the foundation's dedication to organizing this summer program each year as part of its comprehensive support to families. 'We believe in creating safe and empowering spaces where individuals can grow socially and emotionally,' he said. 'These activities are designed to strengthen skills, boost confidence, and foster community engagement through meaningful partnerships.'
Mi Ahmed Al Saei, Director of Charitable Resources Development, added that the program is tailored to suit various age groups. 'We've made sure to balance education, entertainment, and empowerment to align with our vision of raising an aware, skilled, and engaged generation,' she explained. 'Every activity is a chance to create real, lasting impact in the lives of these children and their mothers.'
The summer program focuses on four key goals:
Empowerment through career and life skills training;
Skill-building via specialized workshops;
Joy and emotional well-being through recreational and therapeutic activities;
Community support through strong collaboration with both government and private sector partners.
Some of the standout offerings this summer include:
Educational Programs: "Youth Academy," 'Launch,' language courses, public speaking, AI workshops, and financial literacy.
Vocational Training: Electric maintenance, creative arts, photography, and music.
Sports & Recreation: Karate, martial arts, and water activities like water skiing.
Leisure and Social Engagement: Virtual games, cinema outings, and participation in the national 'Summer in Bahrain' initiative.
The initiative not only offers opportunities to learn and have fun but also aims to build confidence and open doors for future success—making summer a season of growth and happiness for Bahrain's RHF families.
