As a mark of indebtedness, I feel honored to write about the Haiel Saeed family one of the most respected families in Yemen. They are well-known for their hospitality, generosity, charity, and creativity. They often provide Yemen with fruitful enterprises which cover many sectors which many Yemenis make use.
This family has been nurtured with in education of highest human values members of this family learn as a family tradition to the environment properly. They are be well-bred, ambitious, good-natured, active, modest and helpful. The title children of the family should learn first the Holy Qur’an. They are among the first to graduate from Qur’an schools. Not only this, but they work in tandem towards philanthropic ideals, helping the poor, constructing schools, hospitals, mosques and granting scholarship to promising students to pursue higher studies studying outside the country.
What a kind family and what nice people! Among the Yemeni people, this family is regarded as a unique example. In fact, all Yemenis adore them hold them in highest esteem.
Such remarkable people have gained this height of excellence because they sincerely swear allegiance to Allah and then to their country.
The group of companies floated by them are distinctive because they grant good salaries to their employees. No words can adequately express the height of glory which this family enjoys. And we cannot forget here the late Haiel Saeed (the grandfather), who was the first to establish and run the group of companies and the first to nourish in them such sterling values.
Another great enterprise which is worth mentioning here is that Al-Saeed Foundation for Sciences and Culture. It is the first ever institution in Yemen. Mr. Faisal Saeed Fare’a, General Manager of the Foundation rightly terms it as sowing seed for scientific researches. He expects that there will be a lot of scientific and cultural success through this foundation. It was established at the end of the nineties. He added, ” the foundation will adopt the many-faceted arena of science and arts, according to the adherence of the founders to this path which they have drawn for themselves.”
This foundation aims at encouraging pundits and scholars to make researches or develop scientific experimentation in all the fields of science and arts. The organization has instituted a prestigious gain the prize which is awarded of approximately (YR 1000,000) are also granted scholarships to pursue higher studies in their respective fields promoting scholars.
Such remarkable achievements can only be accomplished by men of vision like Haiel Saeed. I wish them all success and tremendous progress in their present at future enterprises. Let’s act together towards achieving the common goals which Yemen can be proud of.
