ADEN: A delegation of Kuwait’s Al Najat Charity has laid the cornerstones of three residential villages for Yemen’s poor families in Taiz and Hodeidah governorates as part of the “Kuwait by Your Side” campaign for the ninth year in a row. Zayed Al-Qahtani, coordinator of society’s Yemen projects, said every village contains 30 units, three classrooms, an equipped medical center, a drinking water project, a mosque, and an administrative office.

These villages would provide shelter and good services for orphans and poor families, he added in a statement to KUNA. Furthermore, the charity also handed out 16,000 food baskets as part of one million iftar meals for the poorest families, he noted. He went on to say that the charity continues to establish residential villages to meet the needs of thousands of displaced families who live in cottages and poor houses.

Meanwhile, Governor Hodeiha Al-Hassan Taher lauded the generous humanitarian support provided by His Highness the Amir, the Kuwaiti Government, and people in all domains. He stressed the importance of sustainable development and humanitarian projects, which serve orphans and poor people. — KUNA
