RIYADH: The Saudi aid agency KSrelief has signed a joint executive program with a civil society organization to support and sponsor orphans in Ghana.
The agreement aims to provide comprehensive care and sponsorship for orphans, including covering their educational expenses, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
It also seeks to empower the families of orphans by offering training in financial literacy, marketing, entrepreneurship, and vocational skills.
Moreover, beneficiaries will receive essential tools and supplies to help launch small-scale economic projects, such as sewing, baking, soap making, and retail operations.
These initiatives are expected to directly benefit 850 individuals and indirectly support an additional 2,455 people.
This endeavor aligns with Saudi Arabia’s humanitarian and relief efforts, carried out through KSrelief, to support orphans worldwide and improve their living conditions.
The Kingdom's humanitarian and charitable relief efforts continue unabated. The Kingdom has provided humanitarian and development aid exceeding $141 billion and implemented almost 7,990 projects in 173 countries, cementing its position as one of the world’s largest donor countries, according to KSrelief.
In a move to enhance this humanitarian role, the Kingdom established KSrelief on May 13, 2015, at the initiative of King Salman, to serve as the Kingdom's humanitarian arm abroad.
