SHEIN®, one of the world’s largest online fashion and lifestyle retailers, has expanded its corporate social responsibility (CSR) work in Saudi Arabia through two new partnerships focused on paediatric healthcare and support for children with disabilities. The initiatives form part of the company’s wider plans to strengthen its presence in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia through partnerships aimed at supporting youth, children and women, while promoting community inclusion.
The company said the projects align with national priorities, including Saudi Vision 2030, by contributing to community development and supporting the role of the private sector in delivering long-term positive outcomes.
In December 2025, SHEIN signed a cooperation agreement with the Children’s Welfare and Disability Association. The agreement supports the association’s therapeutic and rehabilitation services for children with disabilities. As part of the partnership, SHEIN provided funding for physical therapy sessions for children with disabilities. The company also visited the King Fahd Rehabilitation Center in Riyadh to gain direct insight into the medical care and educational services offered at the facility.
A month later, in January 2026, SHEIN entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Wareef Charity, the charitable arm of King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre. The partnership focuses on specialised paediatric care for children with serious health conditions. SHEIN’s contribution supported the establishment of the Pediatric Liver Transplant Unit in Riyadh, aimed at improving access to essential services for young patients and their families, and supporting treatment pathways for complex cases.
The two projects build on SHEIN’s existing CSR activity in the Middle East and reflect the company’s wider global approach to social impact. In the region, earlier initiatives have included “Threads of Joy”, an environmentally focused clothing recycling campaign delivered with KISWA, which supported 40,000 people during Ramadan.
Other projects cited by the company include “Powered by Love”, an autism inclusion platform supporting fundraising, the development of sensory rooms and family engagement activities. The campaign recorded more than 140,000 units sold, with direct support provided to children and families. SHEIN has also partnered with Friends of Cancer Patients (FOCP) on the “Glowmode X Pink Caravan” campaign, which sponsored mobile breast cancer screening clinics during awareness month. The initiative delivered free screening, education and early detection services to 395 women, surpassing its original targets and contributing to women’s health services.
In addition, SHEIN worked with the Authority for the Care of Persons with Disabilities, a Saudi government body, on the “SHEIN x APD Purple Saturday” campaign. The initiative was designed to support shoppers with disabilities through inclusive offers and outreach activities.
SHEIN said it plans to continue working with established local organisations across Saudi Arabia and the wider Middle East. The company stated that its CSR focus will remain on programmes supporting children, youth and women, with the aim of contributing to more equitable and resilient communities, while promoting philanthropy and positioning itself as a responsible corporate actor in the region.
