Kuwait reaffirms humanitarian leadership with revival of charity initiatives
KUWAIT CITY, June 28: Kuwait's Humanitarian and Charitable Work Regulatory Committee has officially approved the resumption of donations and the implementation of charitable projects both domestically and abroad, reaffirming Kuwait's longstanding leadership in the field of humanitarian aid. The decision, made during a recent meeting chaired by First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Sheikh Fahad Yusuf Saud Al-Sabah, was made in coordination with representatives from relevant government bodies. It aims to bolster the activities of charitable organizations while ensuring alignment with international governance and transparency standards. The move also allows donors to track the use of their contributions, reinforcing public trust and accountability in the sector. Under the new regulations, charitable associations can resume their programs following clear guidelines set by the Ministry of Social Affairs. These procedures are intended to guarantee that aid reaches those in genuine need and that charitable operations function within a structured legal framework. Commenting on the development, Dr. Ibrahim Al-Saleh, Chairman of the Kuwait Relief Society, told KUNA that the move reflects the political leadership's ongoing commitment to humanitarian work. He praised the committee's efforts, noting that the decision represents a major step in supporting Kuwait's mission of global aid. 'We will continue our work in accordance with the highest standards of transparency and integrity, aiming to expand our charitable footprint across the world,' said Dr. Al-Saleh. He extended his gratitude to the nation's leadership and the committee members for their continued support. In a similar statement, Dr. Khaled Al-Subaihi, Chairman of the Humanitarian Excellence Association, described the decision as more than administrative. 'It is a reaffirmation of Kuwait's humanitarian legacy, whose outreach has long transcended borders,' he said. Al-Subaihi reiterated the association's dedication to sustainable and impactful initiatives, expressing appreciation for the trust placed in them by generous donors. Mohammad Al-Shaya, Chairman of the Al-Safa Humanitarian Society, also welcomed the announcement. Speaking to KUNA, he emphasized that the decision upholds Kuwait's reputation as a beacon of goodwill. 'This news brought joy to all Kuwaitis, a people raised on compassion and solidarity,' he said, thanking the leadership and the public for their steadfast commitment to humanitarian causes. The committee's resolution, issued last Wednesday, is viewed as a critical step in elevating Kuwait's humanitarian work on the global stage. It also demonstrates the country's intent to maintain high standards of governance while continuing to serve vulnerable populations around the world.
