Employment and empowerment
We have achieved excellence by launching high-quality, professional operational plans based on reaching the least advantaged and underserved areas, and ensuring that the sector’s services reach all governorates of the Kingdom, including underserved regions. This is achieved through:
Traditional Employment
Launching job fairs across various governorates and remote, underserved areas, targeting youth and fresh graduates.
Self-employment
Launching dialogue sessions and events at universities that promote a culture of self-employment and encourage entrepreneurship as an alternative solution to unemployment challenges facing our communities.
Enhancing Access to Finance
Tanmeyah Network works to enhance access to finance through formal microfinance institutions—members of Tanmeyah—that offer financial services to individuals and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). These institutions are committed to applying clear regulations and policies that ensure transparency and fairness in the provision of financing, thereby contributing to economic development and the sustainability of local projects.
Organizing Production Bazaars for Microfinance Sector Clients
Production bazaars have been organized across various governorates, providing clients with a unique opportunity to showcase their products and businesses in a professional environment that helps expand their business networks. These events not only focus on product displays but also introduce clients to new opportunities in local and international markets. Participants can engage with business owners and major companies, enhancing their prospects for expansion, higher sales, and increased production capacity.
Our focus on the governorates is part of our strategy to support underserved and underprivileged areas. These exhibitions are tailored to meet the local market needs of each region. We carefully select distinguished venues in each governorate to ensure accessibility and maximize participation from beneficiaries. Through these exhibitions, we also facilitate collaboration with strategic partners in the public and private sectors, enabling clients to explore new business partnership opportunities. Additionally, we organize workshops and training sessions during the exhibitions to equip participants with new skills, such as improving marketing and business relationship strategies. All these efforts contribute to opening new markets and increasing commercial opportunities for clients in the governorates, thereby enhancing their competitiveness in both local and international markets.
