Since the beginning of Ramadan, Kuwait’s charities have augmented humanitarian activities in Jordan to support refugees in the area and contribute to improving their living conditions. In the presence of and under the patronage of Kuwait’s Ambassador to Jordan, Hamad Al-Mari, the Nama charity society held a ceremony to honor 143 Quran memorizers of orphaned Syrian refugees. Nama’s Khaled Al-Shamri told KUNA after the ceremony that this is to honor the children’s achievements and to further encourage them.

Al-Shamri affirmed Nama’s intent on providing sufficient care to orphaned children and hailed the role Kuwaitis play in supporting such endeavors. Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS), in cooperation with its Jordanian counterpart, organized a fast-breaking event for some 600 orphans in Al-Aqaba. The event included the distribution of Eid clothing coupons as well as entertaining shows and contents for the children. Throughout the month, KRCS gave out around 15,000 fast-breaking meals and will continue to do so for the rest of the month.
