<p>Nesma Holding was proud to join the Tarahom Committee in the opening of its new headquarter offices in Jeddah. Tarahom, meaning &ldquo;Compassion,&rdquo; is a national organization for the care and welfare of prisoners and their families. Nesma Holding President Saleh Al-Turki is the Chairman of the Tarahom Committee in the Makkah Region.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The objectives of Tarahom are to aid the families of inmates to overcome the challenges they face while their family members are in prison; to help released prisoners to re-integrate as good members of society; to advise on the disciplining, rehabilitation and assistance of inmates in correctional institutions and prisons; and finally to improve the environment in correctional institutions and prisons, and propose appropriate alternatives.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Sh. Saleh Al-Turki invited distinguished government members to attend the opening ceremony, including His Excellency the Minister of Social Affairs, the General Manager of Prisons in Saudi Arabia, and the General Manager of Social Affairs. Committee members and Nesma managers were also invited to attend. During the event, Nesma signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Tarahom to provide the organization with financial, building, and training support.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It is worth noting that the new Tarahom headquarters were first occupied by Nesma Holding from the 1980s until 2001, when they served as Nesma&rsquo;s headquarters. The building was then leased to Namma Cargo until 2013.</p>
