"Sharjah Charity" It provides winter assistance to 700 needy and refugee families in Jordan
Sharjah, November 25 / WAM / The Sharjah Charitable Society implemented a series of relief initiatives targeting 700 needy families, including 200 Jordanian families and 500 Syrian refugee families. Various winter aid was distributed to meet the basic needs of these groups. A special ceremony was also organized for orphan children and their mothers, which included recreational activities and the distribution of gifts to the children.
Sheikh Saqr bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Chairman of the Association’s Board of Directors, said at the conclusion of a visit he made to Jordan at the head of a delegation from the Association that this visit comes as an extension of a path that the Association began years ago to support Syrian refugees, needy families and orphans in Jordan, explaining that the winter represents one of the most difficult periods for these families who lack the elements of stability and decent living inside the camps and border areas. Therefore, the Association was keen to direct part of its relief programs to providing winter needs and direct support through field teams that touch Reality and gets to know the needs of families closely.
He added that supporting orphans constitutes one of the basic axes of the association’s work in Jordan, noting that the orphan sponsorship program includes approximately 4,000 orphans inside the Kingdom whose educational and living needs are being supported and monitored on an ongoing basis, which makes Jordan one of the largest countries benefiting from the external sponsorship program adopted by the association. He pointed out that organizing a special party for orphan children during the visit was aimed at bringing joy to their souls and enhancing their feeling of attention and care, which is an aspect no less important than direct financial support.
The Sharjah Charitable Society delegation included Saeed Ghanem Al Suwaidi, Member of the Board of Directors, Ali Mohammed Al Rashidi, Head of the Foreign Projects and Aid Sector, and Nasser Masoud Bilal, Head of the Society’s Branches Sector.
