Jeddah's Green Organizations Going green in Jeddah has never been easier. With several environmental organizations established in recent years, each group provides something for everyone - the casual volunteer, the student, the business looking for CSR opportunities.
NAQA’A - A social enterprise with its roots in Dar Al-Hekma's environmental club. The group's vision is to "incorporate ecological life standards with the social values in the society." Naqa'a performs environmental research and implements projects focused on recycling initiatives throughout the community. Naq'aa holds environmental awareness lectures at schools and collaborates with other establishments to introduce environmental awareness throughout Jeddah.

The organization launched a campaign in order to kick-start recycling at the university and hosts guest lecturers to spread awareness on a host of green issues.
