Country guide

Saudi Arabia.

Vision 2030 sets a national volunteering target, supported by a National Volunteer Platform run by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development. A 2015 Law on Associations and Foundations, effective March 2016, provides the framework for charitable organizations, and the national Ihsan donation platform was launched in March 2021. A general statutory duty to help a stranger could not be verified beyond traffic accident drivers.

Is there a legal duty to help a stranger?

Limited

A reference article states that the Traffic Law requires a driver involved in an accident to stop, report it and assist those injured, with penalties for failure. The article number was not verified, and no general duty for bystanders was found.

Are people who help protected?

No general duty found

No law giving protection to people who help strangers in good faith was found in the sources reviewed.

How the government promotes giving and service

One thing worth knowing

The National Volunteer Platform and an annual volunteer day with an award are run by the ministry as stated steps toward a numeric Vision 2030 volunteering goal.
