MP Ahmed Al-Saloum, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Better Life Charity Association, inaugurated the revitalised "Ain Umm Sha'oum" spring yesterday in the Mahooz area, in collaboration with the Capital Secretariat of the Ministry of Municipalities Affairs and Agriculture.

Speaking at the ceremony, Al-Saloum emphasised the association’s commitment to reviving the historic spring, citing its cultural significance and deep-rooted place in the collective memory of the Mahooz community and Bahraini society at large.

Collaboration and Community Engagement

He underscored the importance of collaboration between government institutions and civil society organisations, noting that the association’s assumption of responsibility for the management and maintenance of the surrounding park represents a tangible example of effective community partnership.

“One of the core values embraced by the Better Life Charity Association since its inception is the support of economic and social well-being through meaningful community engagement,” Al-Saloum stated, adding that all efforts are carried out in coordination with the concerned authorities.

A Space for Families and Children

Parents and children expressed their joy over the reopening, praising the spring as a safe and welcoming space and a much-needed recreational outlet for families.

The reopening coincides with the start of the summer vacation, offering a place for children to learn swimming and practice essential water skills.

The project reflects ongoing efforts to preserve Bahrain’s natural heritage while fostering social initiatives aimed at enhancing the local environment and the quality of family life.
