Ali Othman Alrakban Foundation (AORF) for Community Services

Companies that pursue social and environmental goals along with financial objectives are called “social enterprises”. Public enthusiasm for such social business models has grown significantly. However, most companies continue to operate in the same old ways, focusing solely on maximizing profits and shareholder value, regardless of the social and environmental consequences of their actions. We decided to start in the opposite direction. Despite having a clear vision and strategy for launching our for-profit business, we decided to start practicing non-profit activities and participate in finding solutions to some of the environmental and social problems in our country before launching our for-profit business. We will continue to strive together to achieve social and environmental goals, alongside financial objectives, as we launch our commercial activities. The Ali Othman Alrakban Foundation for Community Service (AORF) was established in 2021 to contribute to improving the quality of life in the cities of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Quality of life is one of the most important goals of Saudi Vision 2030.

The foundation's activities will begin in the Riyadh region, supporting the municipality's efforts to revive the concept of the social role of mosques and their role as meeting points and interaction between neighborhood residents. This will be achieved by planting trees and rehabilitating the surrounding spaces, enabling them to become neighborhood centers and connect residents to each other and to their city. The foundation will then expand to include other regions in the Kingdom.

The foundation aims to contribute to improving physical and mental health, beautifying the environment through planting trees, and creating parks to increase the per capita share of green space in Saudi cities. It will also activate its role with mosques as neighborhood centers, contributing to raising the level of urban design and the environment, and contributing to improving health and social interaction without obstacles. This will enhance the livability of these neighborhoods, making neighborhood centers ideal places for social engagement, recreation, sports, entertainment, and culture, and aiming to improve the lifestyles of neighborhood residents.
