VIDEO: Our social responsibility initiatives

At Aramco, we are driven to accelerate human potential, unlock talent, and improve lives not only for our employees but also for their dependents and the community as a whole.

Through donations and partnerships, dedicated centers such as the Shamah Autism Center and Ajyal Center for Comprehensive Education and Life Skills (ACCEL International) provide vital support and resources to empower individuals with disabilities.

Through donations and partnerships, centers such as ACCEL International, the only one in the region offering therapy and education for all disabilities, provide essential support for individuals with various disabilities, including autism, Down syndrome, and developmental delays, from childhood to adulthood. Another key center is the Shamah Autism Center, which offers specialized care and services for individuals with autism.

 ACCEL International provides a comprehensive program for people with disabilities through an Early Intervention program that starts at 18 months old, up to four years old, and then we prepare them for the school where we have an individualized educational program that's personalized for every student.

I believe Aramco's goal was to provide families and children with a pathway to allow their children to become productive citizens of the Kingdom.

Shamah Autism Center relies on scientifically proven curricula and interventions, such as: Applied Behavior Analysis, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, and training in daily life skills.

These programs help develop communication and social interaction, academic skills, and daily life skills.

By establishing the Shamah Autism Center, Aramco addressed the urgent need for specialized services for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder in the region.

Aramco supports Shamah Autism Center by providing financial support, strategic planning for managing the center, specialized resources to create an appropriate environment for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder, and offering support and sourcing staff for Shamah Autism Center.

We stand united with the global community, advocating for a future where everyone has the opportunity to contribute, succeed, and thrive.
