A BD550,000 elderly day care and community investment project is steadily taking shape in A’ali, with foundation works already under way and a target opening date set for May 2027 – provided funds continue to flow without disruption, say project leaders.
The A’ali Square and Day Care Centre for the Elderly, spearheaded by the A’ali Social Charity Society, is being built on land formerly occupied by a health centre and granted by His Majesty King Hamad.
Designed as a blended humanitarian and investment project, the development aims to respond to Bahrain’s growing elderly population while ensuring long-term financial sustainability.
Foundation works began late last month and construction is expected to take up to 18 months. The project was officially launched during a gala ceremony at the society’s headquarters, attended by representatives of charities, associations and community groups from across Bahrain, alongside dignitaries and invited guests.
Society chairman Aqeel Al A’ali said the project goes beyond traditional care concepts, stressing that dignity and active living are at its core.
“We’re not looking to provide shelter,” he said. “What we want is a dignified and active life for our parents – a day full of care, interaction and warmth, before they return to their families.”
