Saudi Arabia to support working women in the private sector with up to 50% childcare coverage

The initiative, launched under the Child Hospitality Support Program (Qurrah) by the Human Resources Development Fund (HADAF), provides monthly coverage of up to SAR 1,600 per child under the age of six. The program ensures that working mothers have access to safe and reliable childcare services during their working hours. 

“Support to enable women working in Saudi Arabia to enter and continue in the labour market. It is assured of the care provided to their children. The program guarantees coverage of up to 50% of the value of booking a hospitality center up to SAR 1,600 for each child working in the private sector under the age of 6,” Hadaf shared. 

To qualify for the support, the beneficiary must be a Saudi national, employed with a monthly wage not exceeding SAR 8,000, and must be registered in the social assurance system. 

There is no cap on the number of children eligible for the program, allowing families with multiple young children to benefit equally. 

The initiative is designed to enable Saudi women to enter and remain in the labor market, supporting their continued participation in the Kingdom’s growing private sector. It also reinforces the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030, which aims to increase female employment rates and strengthen the social and economic foundations for working families.
