MAKKAH - More than 50 Saudi women will work in the biggest central laundry in Makkah that was inaugurated on Monday.
“Employing Saudi women in private sector is an important step towards developing the Kingdom’s economy,” said Adel Ka’ki, head of Makkah Chamber for Commerce and Industry, after inaugurating the laundry.
Ziyad Bin Mahfouz, Executive Manager in Ilaf Group for Tourists and Travel, and several other dignitaries were present on the occasion.
The project presents a golden chance for women to get employment, Adel Ka’ki said. “This is the first time that Saudi women have been employed in this type of project. The women were trained to handle the most modern equipment,” said Mahfouz.
The project’s services will include Makkah and Jeddah, Mahfouz said.According to Muna Ba Aremah, General Manager of the project, they spent two years in finalizing the laundry which has world’s best available machines.
“The project aims to expand the work and business culture among Saudi women,” added Ba Aremah. “Our main aim to employ women has been achieved. Saudi women have shown their ability to perform this delicate task,” he added.
