Held during the summer break, the initiative reflects RHF's ongoing commitment to nurturing and empowering families, ensuring that children and mothers can make the most of their holidays in meaningful and enjoyable ways.
Sheikh Ali bin Khalifa Al Khalifa, Secretary-General of RHF, emphasized the foundation's dedication to organizing this summer program each year as part of its comprehensive support to families.
