KSrelief implemented 78 projects for disabled people

  • Providing fair opportunities and supporting their health, education, and social needs while strengthening their participation across different fields of life embodies the values of compassion and solidarity

RIYADH: Since its establishment, the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center has carried out 78 projects in several countries, including Yemen, Syria, Sudan, Poland, Senegal, Jordan, Somalia, Tunisia, Lebanon and Turkiye.

Valued at more than $64.39 million, these projects aim to enhance health and rehabilitation services and provide assistive devices for people with disabilities.

Care and empowerment of persons with disabilities forms one of the pillars of humanitarian work, and reflects a society’s awareness and its ability to include every individual.

Providing fair opportunities and supporting their health, education, and social needs while strengthening their participation across different fields of life embodies the values of compassion and solidarity. The more integration programs grow and their abilities develop, the greater the contribution and prosperity of the community.

Disability is not an obstacle to creativity, but an invitation to open paths and create room for distinct talents that deserve support and protection.

Their empowerment is not only a humanitarian duty, but also a civil approach grounded in compassion and solidarity that helps build a more inclusive and just future.

Saudi-Yemen program provides $81.2m to operate more than 70 power plants

  • Grant will improve reliability of electrical power to critical facilities, including hospitals, medical centers, roads, schools, airports and ports
  • Move follows last week’s announcement by the SDRPY of a larger aid package totaling $506 million to support Yemen

LONDON: A tripartite agreement was signed on Wednesday between the Saudi Development and Reconstruction Program for Yemen, the oil company Petromasila, and Yemen’s Ministry of Energy and Electricity to supply petroleum derivatives for the country’s power plants.

SDRPY is supporting the Yemeni government with an $81.2 million grant to purchase 339 million liters of diesel and mazut from Petromasila to operate more than 70 power plants across various Yemeni governorates.

The grant follows last week’s announcement by the SDRPY of a $506 million aid package to support Yemen’s education, health, government and infrastructure sectors.

The SDRPY highlighted that the grant will improve the reliability of electrical power to critical facilities, including hospitals, medical centers, roads, schools, airports and ports. Additionally, the funding will stimulate the Yemeni economy and support the Central Bank of Yemen by easing the pressure on foreign exchange reserves.

It reduces the Ministry of Finance’s fuel-related financial burden and supports the Ministry of Electricity and Energy in improving the efficiency of power plants in Yemen, the SDRPY said.

In 2018, the SDRPY provided $180 million, in addition to $422 million in 2021 and another $200 million in 2022, as grants to Yemen to purchase oil derivatives and operate vital sectors of the country.
