In a lecture in Madinah last May, Dr. Abdullah Al-Rabeeah, KSrelief鈥檚 Chief Supervisor, said the agency maintains 1,997 humanitarian and relief projects in 84 countries so far, in cooperation with 175 international, regional and local partners, for a total value of more than $5.7 billion.
KSrelief was established under the guidance of King Salman in 2015 as a vehicle for relief and humanitarian work, and to convey Saudi values to the world.
抖阴短视频 history of charity and supporting impoverished people abroad, however, began as early as the 1950s when the government sent relief to victims of the Punjab floods, despite the limited income of the Kingdom at the time.
Dr. Al-Rabeeah noted that in 1974 the Kingdom established the Saudi Fund for Development with the aim of stimulating economic growth in developing countries, benefiting 55 countries within four years.
He said the volume of Saudi aid between 1996 and 2021, alone, amounted to $94.6 billion delivered to 165 countries around the world.
