SHABABUNA Creative Hub recently celebrated its rebirth at their new office in Bin Sulaiman Center after seven years of successful innovative humanitarian initiatives.

The grand-opening event was a reunion of everyone who was once part of Shababuna such as volunteers, partners and influencers, like leaders from different organizations such as But Why, Al-Muta'alliqat and JCA.

"Shababuna Creative Hub" is a non-profit organization formed by a group of young people who wanted to serve the community through creative and innovative initiatives.

Shababuna, which started seven years, has now finally reached a sustainable model in social entrepreneurship, because of all the humanitarian roles they undertake, such as crafting various products to spread social values, conducting social responsibility activities and campaigns, humanitarian events, and developing curriculums for a patriotic and healthy lifestyle.

At Shababuna the members brainstorm about humanitarian ideas, then work to make them true.

The purpose of Shababuna is to spread social values, ethics and engage with the community through different awareness activities. Their main goal is youth empowerment.

Bader Saleh, a social media celebrity, attended the ceremony. "I thank Shababuna for inviting me today. I left Jeddah two years ago and, then when I came back, I was shocked to see that Shababuna has advanced a lot. Now they have an office, and they conduct events and they have a plan for the future. Honestly this is beautiful. In the beginning Shababuna was just a dream, now they became a reality. I'm so glad for that and I wish them the best of luck," said Saleh.

A volunteer with Shababuna, Aysha Abulaynain, said: "Since I joined Shababuna in 2014, I benefited a lot, learned lots of values and ethics. I took a five-day course that made me go ahead with humanitarian initiatives."
