The campaign was launched under the patronage of Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, who donated SAR40 million. 

 

This was followed by a SAR30 million donation from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Chairman of the Council of Ministers, Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud. Subsequently, Roshn Group announced its contribution of SAR30 million towards the campaign.
