The Quality of Life Program has significantly advanced hobby culture in Saudi Arabia, promoting active participation in various activities. According to its latest annual report, the program has made notable progress towards its Vision 2030 goal of improving life quality. Key achievements include a rise in hobby clubs, now totalling 1,145 across the Kingdom.

The Hawi platform now supports over 215 hobbies, catering to diverse interests. Hobby clubs have organized 1,435 events, offering numerous opportunities for citizens and residents to engage in stimulating activities. The program's efforts focus on three main pillars: enriching and diversifying hobbies, encouraging societal and educational engagement in hobbies, and coordinating among enabling entities.

Facilities and spaces for practising hobbies have been established under the program. The Hawi application was launched to support amateur clubs, and partnerships were formed with organizations like Golato to provide sports facilities. Additionally, awareness campaigns were conducted, training courses were held, and collaborations with universities were initiated to promote hobby culture and offer educational resources.

The program has signed agreements with public, private, and non-profit sectors to foster hobby development. Collaborations with sports federations have been implemented to introduce hobby experimentation programs. These initiatives aim to increase community participation in hobbies and boost the hobby sector's contribution to GDP.

By creating a vibrant society, the program seeks to elevate Saudi Arabia's standing in the realm of hobby culture and quality of life.
