Our partnership with Al Nahda Philanthropic Society

We are so excited to announce our partnership with Al Nahda Philanthropic Society, an NGO dedicated to empowering women across the country, in order to raise awareness of the December 2015 municipal elections in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Our partnership was founded on the belief that education around the voting process is essential to producing fair and balanced results, and just as important as the act of voting itself. In these initial stages, we have been working with Al Nahda to place educational leaflets in the cars of Uber’s partner drivers so that riders are given the opportunity to better understand how it all works during this registration period, which is a necessary step towards voting day December 12.

The elections are important for all Saudi men and women and it is important everyone has access to transport on voting day.

Until then – dates to note are as follows:

Register to Vote: From now until September 14th

Candidate Nominations: From now until September 17th

Candidate Campaigning: November 29th – December 10th

Voting Day: December 12

More information can be found at http://www.wataneea.com/ and in brochures placed in Uber cars.

We will be announcing additional activities in the coming months so please watch this space and remember that صوتك_يفرق#
