To Support the Developmental Growth of Over 400,000 Children: "Al-Faisalya Charity" and "Ynmo" Launch the "Ynmo Tifli" Initiative in Collaboration with Saudi Aramco

Riyadh - Kingdom of Saudi Arabia - February 1, 2025 - – Al-Faisalya Women Welfare Society and Ynmo Information Technology Company ("Ynmo"), in collaboration with Saudi Aramco, have launched the "Ynmo Tifli" initiative to support children's developmental growth in the Kingdom, encompassing child growth and development across various aspects such as cognitive, physical, and social skills. This strategic collaboration comes to reinforce the initiative's goal of reaching and screening more than 400,000 children who may be at risk of developmental delays, requiring prompt intervention to bring the child's development back on track.

The "Ynmo Tifli" initiative is a strategic step aimed at improving the quality of life for children and their families in Saudi Arabia by providing diverse programmes, including: an awareness programme for families, a free digital initial screening programme, a virtual support programme for families, and a research programme to study and analyse the reality of early screening services in the Kingdom. Through this initiative, Al-Faisalya and Ynmo aim to reach more than two million families in the Kingdom through their various channels, and register 400,000 children under the age of six in the early screening programme, where estimates indicate that around 12% of them are at risk of developmental delay. The initiative also includes providing more than 46,000 specialised consultation sessions for children by experts in their fields, in addition to preparing a comprehensive study on the level of early screening services in Saudi Arabia.

The "Ynmo Tifli" initiative contributes to achieving a sustainable social and economic impact by easing the financial burden on families and promoting social inclusion for children, which helps open broader horizons for them in education and employment. The initiative also contributes to reducing government costs associated with long-term services, thereby supporting the Kingdom's vision in enhancing quality of life and sustainability.

Since its establishment in 2017, Ynmo—a Saudi company specialised in providing innovative digital solutions to enhance child development—has played an active role in providing educational and rehabilitative tech solutions for children by empowering specialists to deliver rehabilitative and educational programmes supported by advanced technologies, alongside facilitating families' access to support services and consultations through a wide network of specialists in behavioural therapy, speech and language therapy, and psychotherapy. Meanwhile, Al-Faisalya Charity continues to support those without family support, promote economic empowerment, and provide healthcare services through pioneering programmes and centres across the Western Region of the Kingdom. The society has been distinguished by its organizational capabilities and effective cooperation with government and private entities, earning numerous local and international awards.

This initiative is funded and technically supported by Saudi Aramco as part of the company's corporate social responsibility programmes, and as an extension of its ongoing support for children with autism and other developmental disorders through similar initiatives, such as the Shamah Autism Center in Dammam, inaugurated in 2016, and the Ajyal Center for Comprehensive Education and Life Skills (ACCEL), inaugurated in 2022, in addition to a memorandum of understanding signed in Medina with the Madinah Autism Association (Tamakkan) to launch a partnership that contributes to providing therapeutic programmes for individuals with autism.
