A VIBRANT SOCIETY..
WITH STRONG FOUNDATIONS
OUR GOAL IS TO PROMOTE AND
REINVIGORATE SOCIAL
DEVELOPMENT IN ORDER TO BUILD A
STRONG AND PRODUCTIVE SOCIETY.
WE WILL STRENGTHEN OUR FAMILIES,
CARING FOR
OUR FAMILIES
DEVELOPING OUR
CHILDREN’S CHARACTER
Families are the key building block of a society,
protecting it from social breakdown across generations,
and acting as both its children’s sanctuary and the main
provider of their needs. One of the defining
characteristics of the Kingdom is its adherence to
Islamic principles and values, together with the unity
and extended family relations. Building on these key
characteristics, we will provide our families with all the
necessary support to take care of their children and
develop their talents and abilities. In particular, we
want to deepen the participation of parents in the
education process, to help them develop their children’s
characters and talents so that they can contribute fully
to society. Families will also be encouraged to adopt a
planning culture, to plan carefully for their future and
the futures of their children.
We intend to embed positive moral beliefs in our
children’s characters from an early age by reshaping
our academic and educational system. Schools,
working with families, will reinforce the fabric of
society by providing students with the compassion,
knowledge, and behaviors necessary for resilient and
independent characters to emerge. The focus will be
on the fundamental values of initiative, persistence
and leadership, as well as social skills, cultural
knowledge and self-awareness. We will also promote
cultural, social, volunteering and athletic activities
through empowering our educational, cultural and
entertainment institutions.
We recognize each family’s aspiration to own a home

family security. Even though 47 percent of Saudi
families already own their homes, we aim to increase
this rate by five percentage points by 2020. This would
be a substantial achievement given the high increase in
the number of new entrants to the housing market. We
will meet this target by introducing a number of laws
and regulations; encouraging the private sector to
build houses; and providing funding, mortgage
solutions and ownership schemes that meet the needs
of our citizens.
