Saudi Gazette There are some people who are so noble that their legacy continues and their presence is felt even after they leave the world. Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz, heir to the Saudi throne, passed away but his loving memories will stay with us forever due to his generous contributions to humanitarian organizations that will serve communities for years to come, such as Ebsar Foundation for the visually impaired, Prince Sultan Rehabilitation Complex for the disabled, and the Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz Fund for Women's Development. “Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz, may Allah have mercy on him, truly believed in the vital role women play in the society. Through this fund, he supported women and promoted women's leadership,” Hana Al-Zuhair, Deputy Secretary General of the Women's Development Fund in the Eastern Province told Al-Watan newspaper. “The news of Prince Sultan's death saddened us as we will miss him deeply, but his great contribution will stay with us forever. The fund will carry on his message of goodness, giving, and social development,” she said. The Women's Development Fund was initiated to support women's creativity and innovation to set up their own small businesses. Prince Sultan donated SR 30 million to the Women's Development Fund, paid timely visits to the organization and showed great interest in its projects. Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz Women's Development Fund not only provides financial support but also training, leadership skills, technical and monetary advice to empower women and strengthen them to enter the market. The fund has enabled many women to start their own businesses and successfully remain in business. It has proven to be an excellent tool in fighting unemployment among women in Saudi Arabia. The Saudi people have named him the Prince with white hands which symbolizes his generosity and giving nature. In honor of his memory, Prince Salman bin Abdul Aziz said, “Prince Sultan was in essence himself a charitable organization.” __
