About Darul Amal

A house of workers, carefully kept.

Founded in 2019 in Addis Ababa, Darul Amal is a licensed Ethiopian foreign employment agency dedicated to ethical, transparent, and dignified placement of domestic workers with Saudi households.

Our Story

From a small office to a covenant.

Darul Amal — "House of Workers" in Arabic — was born from a simple conviction: that the movement of workers between Ethiopia and Saudi Arabia deserves the same care, dignity, and documentation as any sacred trust.

We began with a single desk and a refusal to cut corners. Six years later, we have placed nearly 3,000 workers, maintained a 94% contract completion rate, and built partnerships with 38 Saudi recruitment offices across 7 cities. Every placement follows the same 12-stage process, every time.

Our Values

What guides every decision.

Dignity First

Every worker is someone's daughter, sister, mother. We never treat a human being as inventory. Dignity informs every process, every conversation, every document.

Radical Transparency

Fees, timelines, contracts — everything in writing, in both languages. No hidden charges, no verbal promises, no ambiguity. Receipts on request, always.

Accountability

We answer to the Ethiopian Ministry of Labour, the Saudi Embassy, and to the families on both sides. Our license number is public. Our record is open.

Long-Term Care

Placement is not the end — it's the beginning. Monthly check-ins, 24-hour hotline, mediation, and a safe route home if ever needed. Welfare without end.
