About Us

Community services programs are among the most important initiatives adopted by the company since the early efforts of Sheikh Abdul Latif Jameel, may Allah rest him in peace, who actively contributed to different social programs.

How we started ALJCI is not a new entity. Instead, it started in the early days of Abdul Latif Jameel Company, by sponsoring several local events, supporting certain Government projects, launching cultural competitions and other diversified initiatives.

By the end of 2002, the company introduced an initiative by creating job opportunities through launching the Taxi Ownership initiative. The first group of unemployed young males received 10 cars. The initiative proved to be very successful.

In the beginning of 2003, Abdul Latif Jameel Professional and Vocational Rehabilitation Initiative was announced, and the initiative began to offer interest-free loans to candidates who were interested in receiving training for certain professions.

In the same year, the Saudi Red Crescent Society Development initiative was announced in the Makkah area. In mid 2003, Abdul Latif Jameel Community Initiatives (ALJCI) was formally started, and all initiatives implemented by ALJ Co. were housed under the new ALJCI umbrella.
