Inmate Travel Assistance Initiative By Khalifa Foundation And Pure Gold Group Aids Released Inmates

The Khalifa Foundation is working with Pure Gold Group on a joint humanitarian programme that funds travel tickets for released inmates who lack resources to return home after serving sentences. Under this cooperation, 2,821 former inmates received assistance in 2025, including 1,983 people supported directly by Pure Gold Group’s travel ticket scheme.

The initiative targets one of the most difficult stages after imprisonment, when individuals are legally free but cannot afford travel costs to rejoin their families and communities. The collaboration reflects both organisations’ focus on social responsibility and on helping groups facing financial and psychological vulnerability.

Explaining the thinking behind the partnership, Mohamed Haji Alkhoori, Director-General of the Khalifa Foundation, highlighted how cooperation with the private sector strengthens humanitarian work. Mohamed Haji Alkhoori said, "Our partnership with Pure Gold Group reflects our commitment to building meaningful and effective collaborations that bring together the humanitarian and private sectors through a well-considered and integrated approach. By leveraging the strengths and resources of both sectors, this initiative addresses a critical humanitarian need. It helps released inmates reunite with their families and communities, supports their social and psychological stability, and enables them to restart their lives as productive and contributing members of their societies. The Foundation remains committed to translating social responsibility into practical initiatives that deliver sustainable developmental impact."

Philanthropist Firoz bin Gulam Hussain, Chairman and Founder of Pure Gold Group, described the cooperation with the Khalifa Foundation as part of a broader commitment to vulnerable people. Firoz bin Gulam Hussain said, "Our focus on helping released inmates return safely to their home countries stems from a genuine humanitarian responsibility that restores their sense of security, preserves their dignity, and offers them a chance for a fresh start. We firmly believe that strong partnerships with experienced institutions that have a clear and integrated vision for sustainable community development, such as the Khalifa Foundation, are essential to creating meaningful and lasting change that goes beyond short-term solutions."

The figures for 2025 show how the Khalifa Foundation and Pure Gold Group are turning broad social responsibility commitments into direct outcomes for individuals. The travel support offers released inmates a structured exit from the prison system, reducing the risk of isolation, prolonged hardship, or further legal and social difficulties in host countries.

Khalifa Foundation social development strategy

Beyond this project with Pure Gold Group, the Khalifa Foundation’s strategy centres on social and development programmes that respond to community needs worldwide. The Foundation designs initiatives for individuals and families, with a particular emphasis on groups facing financial stress, weak support networks, and unstable living conditions.

According to the Khalifa Foundation, projects are planned through a defined framework that links careful needs assessment with clear implementation steps and measurable outcomes. The organisation relies on institutional partnerships, such as the one with Pure Gold Group, to apply this framework and deliver practical, long-term benefits that improve social stability for communities in many countries.

For business stakeholders in the Middle East, the collaboration between the Khalifa Foundation and Pure Gold Group illustrates how corporate and philanthropic actors can share responsibility for social challenges. The 2025 support for 2,821 released inmates, including 1,983 ticketed through Pure Gold Group, reflects a model of cooperation that channels private resources into structured humanitarian work with defined development goals.
