The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development of Saudi Arabia

reported on Tuesday that 100,570 volunteers assisted

pilgrims with their rituals during this year’s Hajj season.

This year, the ministry stated that there were over 35,000 volunteer opportunities.

The purpose of these projects is to assist the

Kingdom in achieving its Vision 2030 objectives.

During the Hajj season, it was also stated that a variety of volunteer work and assistance was provided to pilgrims.

These were health, organization, community, education, and consciousness.

The ministry stated that young men and women were assisting pilgrims in multiple locations from the moment they arrived,

working with the proper authorities at land and sea ports, airports, grouping and screening points,

all the way to the Grand Mosque and the holy sites in Mina, Arafat, and Muzdalifah, as well as the mosque’s central area.

In addition, they assisted the pilgrims in securing housing so that they might live comfortably and without incident.

The ministry seeks volunteers with the appropriate backgrounds and talents to assist with initiatives at

the Grand Mosque and other sacred places. In terms of organization and hospitality,

this will assist pilgrims to receive the greatest services on the ground.

The National Service Work Platform keeps track of their volunteer

hours and provides them with a certificate of appreciation for their effort and commitment.
