The Human Resources Development Fund "Hadaf" said that the number of Saudi female employees benefiting from accredited children daycare centers (childrens hospitality centers) in various regions of the Kingdom amounted to 2514 beneficiaries, as women working in the private sector can view the details of the program to register and benefit from its services. Hadaf also made an amendment to the conditions of enrollment and the support mechanism in "Qurrah" program, in order to contribute to empowering women and settling in the labor market. The Program covers all regions of the Kingdom, according to the licensed centers in each region, as the support period now reaches four years for each beneficiary with two children maximum until they reach six years, instead of reaching four years as it was in previous conditions. According to the new amended program, Hadaf contributes to covering part of the expenses of daycare centers as follows: For the first year, the Fund contributes to covering 800 riyals of the cost of daycare centers for a maximum of one child; for the second year, the Fund contributes to covering 600 riyals of the cost of daycare centers for a maximum of one child; for the third year, the Fund contributes to covering 500 riyals of the cost of daycare centers for a maximum of one child; as for the fourth year, the Fund contributes to covering 400 riyals of the cost of daycare centers for a maximum of one child.
