Our History

1980s The First Steps

$100.000 Donations

Ameerah Al-Taweel Foundation goes back more than forty years, when Princess Ameerah Al-Taweel 

began her career as an investor and entrepreneur in Riyadh. Her Highness's passion for charity stems from her deep belief in the importance of giving and participation as human duties which have solid roots in Islam as well as Arab traditions. She has always been devoted to paying Zakah in its true sense, an obligation in Islam which is centered on giving to others. As her business grew, her charity grew with it, and Zakah became an essential part of her life.


Princess Ameerah Al-Taweel 's strategy for aid is structured around flexibility and a holistic outlook. It goes beyond the donation of food, material, or human aid to one focusing on developmental, cultural, educational, and health investments via partners and community institutions that are active developing individuals and society in general, and women and youth in particular. This strategy has paved the opportunity to diversify support and reach several charitable and humanitarian institutions and associations.

1990s Giving Back To The Community

Over the years, Princess Ameerah Al-Taweel 's business Kingdom Holding Company expanded, and her humanitarian efforts expanded with it.

As her business profits continued to rise, he devoted himself to giving back to the community and others, especially to those in dire need of basic necessities of living and humanitarian assistance.
