Kuwaiti Relief Efforts Support Vulnerable Families

Kuwait’s humanitarian work is a national legacy and a responsibility that must be preserved, Kuwait’s ambassador to Tunisia, Mansour Al-Omar, said on Saturday, praising charitable institutions for reflecting the country’s “honourable image and deep-rooted humanitarian role.”

Al-Omar made the remarks while receiving Khaled Al-Shamri, the head of the Development and Relief Sector at Nama Charity (part of the Social Reform Society), following a field visit by a Nama delegation that implemented a series of humanitarian and development projects across several regions in Tunisia targeting underprivileged families and vulnerable groups.

The ambassador stressed that Kuwaiti charitable work is not a temporary activity but a long-standing approach inherited across generations, built on values of generosity and giving embedded in Kuwaiti society.

He added that preserving this humanitarian legacy is a “major national responsibility shared by all,” stressing the importance of continued coordination between official bodies and Kuwaiti charities to ensure humanitarian efforts are properly represented in a way that befits Kuwait’s global standing.

Al-Omar also praised Nama Charity’s work in Tunisia, describing it as a model of structured and impactful humanitarian action, while underlining the need to adhere to legal and regulatory frameworks that safeguard credibility and enhance international impact.

For his part, Al-Shamri said Kuwaiti humanitarian work continues to serve vulnerable communities worldwide, reflecting Kuwait’s leading global role in charitable and development work.

He said the delegation implemented several relief and development initiatives during its Tunisia visit, including distributing 75 food baskets benefiting around 375 people, as well as 340 Eid clothing packages to support children and families ahead of Eid Al-Adha.

He added that seven “sustainable income” projects were also launched, including a goat-based livelihood initiative aimed at enabling low-income families to generate stable income. The delegation also distributed red meat to 60 families, benefiting 300 people, and provided wheelchairs for humanitarian cases, in addition to sponsoring orphans and low-income families.
